Asciiquarium v1.1

Asciiquarium is an aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art.
Installation
------------
Asciiquarium is a single perl script, so all you have to do is make sure
it's executable and put it somewhere convenient, like /usr/local/bin or
/usr/local/games.
Ubuntu
------
Out-of-the-box ubuntu doesn't satisfy the Requirements below, so
here's how to get them:
1) Get perl's curses package which is available from apt:
sudo apt-get install libcurses-perl
2) Run
cpan
at the shell. Agree to the defaults for everything.
To leave cpan, type
quit
3) Type
sudo cpan Term::Animation
Requirements
------------
You must have the Term::Animation module, which you can get from
http://www.cpan.org. The Term::Animation module also requires the Curses
module, which you can also get from CPAN. This program will only run on
platforms that have a Curses library (so it won't work on Windows, but
you might get it to run under cygwin).
Usage
-----
Command line arguments:
-c "classic" mode, only show species from Asciiquarium 1.0
While running:
q quit
r redraw (will recreate all entities)
p toggle pause
Contributors
------------
New fish species backported from the Android live wallpaper and
other minor improvements by Claudio Matsuoka.
Pretty much all of the ASCII art was done by Joan Stark:

Anything that she didn't do, I don't have a source for.
