pngquant is a command-line utility and a library for lossy compression of PNG images.
The conversion reduces file sizes significantly (often as much as 70%) and preserves full alpha transparency. Generated images are compatible with all web browsers and operating systems.
Pngquant is a free, open source and cross-platform command-line lossy PNG compressor. It is based on a portable libimagequant library and is written in C99. It reduces the file size significantly by converting the PNG image to more efficient 8-bit PNG format and preserves full alpha transparency. As you may already know, 8-bit PNG files are often 60-80% smaller than 24/32-bit PNG files. The images compressed using Pngquant are fully-compatible with all web browsers and operating systems. Pngquant can compress one or multiple images at once.
A simulated Enigma machine, where the different parts of the machine are beautifully represented with graphics.
The notebook simulates an Enigma Machine and visualizes how it works. The Enigma Machine is an especially neat thing to visualize because it was electromechanical. As you used it, it moved. Instead of circuit traces, it had beautiful real wires connecting its pieces.

ASCIIQuarium is a short Perl script that lets you embrace aquatic nature from your terminal. It's an aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art.
Generate HQ poly wallpapers.
Example with fixed color/gradient:
WallGen is a small command-line utility that generates HQ poly wallpapers with only a few text arguments for inputs. Free and open source software.
A program that tries to improve FIGlet; can load FIGlet fonts; supports Unicode input and output, colour fonts and output, and various output formats, including HTML, IRC and ANSI; uses libcaca to produce nice textual effects.
Not exactly a font manager, but a nice program for making large letters out of ordinary text; an astonishing number of different fonts is available.
A Unix terminal recorder written in Python that renders your command line sessions as standalone SVG animations.
The images allow to easily, visually take in what a sorting algorithm did over time, as it took the list from an unsorted, random state to a completely sorted state. On the horizontal axis, we have a list of numbers, represented as a single line of colors. On the vertical axis, there is time. From the top of the image to the bottom of the image, there is the list of numbers (the line of colored pixels) from a random ordering to a “sorted” rainbow line, by applying each kind of sorting algorithm one step per row.

The set of all points closest to a given point in a point set than to all other points in the set is an interesting spatial structure called a Voronoi Polygon for the point. The union of all the Voronoi polygons for a point set is called Voronoi Tessellation.
Many applications have been found based on the neighbourhood information provided by this tessellation. The dual of Voronoi tessellation is Delaunay Tessellation, also referred to as Delaunay Triangulation or Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN), which are lines drawn between points where their Voronoi polygons have an edge in common.
Delaunay tessellation is the most fundamental neighbourhood structure because many other important neighbourhood structures, such as, Gabriel Graph, Relative Neighbourhood Graph and Minimal Spanning Tree, can be derived from it.
Gifsicle is a command-line tool for creating, editing, and getting information about GIF images and animations.
contains gifview a great slideshow tool for multi-frame gifs.
A nice blog post about Delaunay triangulation and Voronoi tessellation of a sphere.
Very nice interactive JavaScript animation that shows the triangulation and the tessellation as a function of some paramenters.
