Campimeter.sh for macOS

Hi Neo...

Quote:

I tend to have a low attention span, so when I get a proof-of-concept like this up and running (and prove it works), even if the final results are not "polished", I then want to "call it good enough" and quickly move on to the next project.

This is me too except for the attention span. As soon as I find a solution to something I let others better it.
And as for doing something different I have done some bizarre stuff on here... <wink> /Me awaits the mickey take... ;oD
OT: Here is a small snippet for a terminal window you might like under OSX 10.14.6 on this MBP, solved and going into the Campimeter code.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Campimeter.sh

clear

# Set terminal to full screen and default sizes.
set_size()
{
    osascript << "FULL_SCREEN"
        tell application "Terminal" to activate
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke "f" using { command down, control down }
        delay 3
FULL_SCREEN
}

initialise()
{
    clear
    printf "%b" "\033[0;30;47m"
    clear
    SIZE=( $( stty size ) )
    VERT_CENTRE=$(( ${SIZE[0]} / 2 ))
    HORIZ_CENTRE=$(( ${SIZE[1]} / 2 ))
    printf "%b" "\033[${VERT_CENTRE};${HORIZ_CENTRE}f\033[0;30;42m  \033[0;30;47m\033[1;1f"
}

set_size

initialise

printf "\033[33;33f\033[1;31;47m*\033[0;30;47m\033[1;1f"

sleep 3

set_size

Enjoy...

ppi::token::quote

PPI::Token::Quote(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      PPI::Token::Quote(3)

NAME

       PPI::Token::Quote - String quote abstract base class

INHERITANCE

	 PPI::Token::Quote
	 isa PPI::Token
	     isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION

       The "PPI::Token::Quote" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the four quote classes.  In PPI,
       a "quote" is limited to only the quote-like things that themselves directly represent a string. (although this includes double quotes with
       interpolated elements inside them).

       The subclasses of "PPI::Token::Quote" are:

       '' - PPI::Token::Quote::Single
       "q{}" - PPI::Token::Quote::Literal
       "" - PPI::Token::Quote::Double
       "qq{}" - PPI::Token::Quote::Interpolate

       The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is here. See their respective pages for more details.

       Please note that although the here-doc does represent a literal string, it is such a nasty piece of work that in PPI it is given the honor
       of its own token class (PPI::Token::HereDoc).

METHODS

   string
       The "string" method is provided by all four ::Quote classes. It won't get you the actual literal Perl value, but it will strip off the
       wrapping of the quotes.

	 # The following all return foo from the ->string method
	 'foo'
	 "foo"
	 q{foo}
	 qq <foo>

   literal
       The "literal" method is provided by ::Quote:Literal and ::Quote::Single.  This returns the value of the string as Perl sees it: without the
       quote marks and with "\" and "'" resolved to "" and "'".

       The "literal" method is not implemented by ::Quote::Double or ::Quote::Interpolate yet.
