The Nerdy Sixty | (57/60) 3D ASCII Demo | Solution

What happens when you run the `bb` command on Linux, and how do you get it?

Hint 1: You may need to install it (`sudo apt install bb`). Running `bb` afterwards plays something interesting.

Hint 2: `bb` is an ASCII art demo program (the “Ball Bearing” demo).

Solution:

If you install the `bb` program and run it, it plays a vintage 3D ASCII art demo (with an animation sequence featuring things like a floating text and a graphical story). It’s a throwback to early computer demo scenes, rendered entirely in text mode.
