c-squares written in the C language will render random coloured rectangulars in the terminal, while the font, speed, density, color, ratio and number of the shapes drawn are fully costumizable.

Every time a rectangular is complete, a new one starts to take shape.

Like a screensaver for the terminal?

More like something like eye candy, but it can also work like this.
