## Historique du projet et usages

lavat is a terminal lava-lamp simulation that renders moving metaballs in a Unix-like terminal. It is a small C-and-make style visual toy rather than a media-processing framework, but package managers classify it naturally with terminal animation and screensaver-like utilities.

### Historique du projet

The GitHub repository was created on 2022-10-17 and its first GitHub release, v1.0.0, was published the same day. The README presents it as a little program for simulating a lava lamp in the terminal, requiring a Unix-like system, a C compiler, and make.

Subsequent releases added interactive and visual controls: v2.0.0 on 2023-01-14 added terminal-resize detection and runtime controls, while later release metadata records v2.1.0 on 2024-01-25, v2.2.0 on 2025-04-18, and v3.0.0 on 2026-01-27.

### Historique d'adoption

lavat spread through lightweight package channels rather than a large application ecosystem. The README advertises repository availability through packaging badges, and Homebrew and Nix package metadata both list it for convenient installation.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users run lavat directly in a terminal and tune colors, gradients, speed, metaball radius, rim size, ball count, containment, party modes, and runtime controls. Its role is mostly decorative: a terminal animation, demo, or screensaver-like process.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

lavat is package-nerd catnip because it is the tiny terminal visual toy every package index needs: simple to build, visibly testable, and dependent on terminal behavior rather than a GUI stack.
