This program will play a song Still Alive from Portal closing credits and prints its lyrics with some ascii-art on your linux machine. The program was developed for Debian and its forks such as Ubuntu, Mint and etc. (program wasn't tested on these distros) Your PC have to have a buzzer on a motherboard for playing sound.
Original song "Still Alive" was composed by Jonathan Coulton.
You can just play the song by using still-alive command in your linux tty console or you can shutdown your computer after program execution by adding -p argument to the command: still-alive -p
This argument requires root privelieges so use it along with sudo
$ still-alive
$ still-alive -p
$ sudo still-alive
/*these three commands won't turn off your PC*/
$ sudo still-alive -p
# still-alive -p
/*these two will*/
IMPORTANT: Running this program in a tty console is crucial because it can play sound on a buzzer only from the console. The appearance and its behavior were developed for using in the console
Make sure you have all of the following packages before compilation:
- cmake
- libreadline-dev
- libncurses-dev

Clone the project and run install.sh bash-script for installation. It will compile sources and install binary file automatically using CMake

The displayed text and the playing music are slightly out of sync in the first verse. Maybe I'll fix it someday. Or you can help this project and fix the sync of the music and text by yourself
