Q:

Is it possible to color the output of `aafire`?

The program seems cool, but giving it a red color really makes it look like my computer is on fire. I think using grep or similar piping command can do the trick, but I see that it prints ASCII escape codes for colors and removes the special formatting of the output that makes it look like fire.

A:

cacafire
ASCII fire (aafire) was created with the now dead libaa. That may actually predate terminal color codes (I don't remember). However, the newer varient is the still maintained libcaca which provides cacafire.
