### [Rusty Aquarium]

_Visualize data as a fish tank with Rusty Aquarium_

[Rusty Aquarium] by [@ollej] is a data visualization tool as a virtual fish
tank written in Rust and Macroquad. Different data points control how many
fishes are shown, how they move, how fast they swim, and which size they are.
It can be used to monitor data in a visual way, while those uninitiated only
see a serene fish tank.

Since Macroquad is cross-platform, Rusty Aquarium is available for Windows,
Mac, Linux as well as for browsers using WebAssembly.

The aquarium can be controlled in various different ways:

- System monitoring binary to show CPU usage, disk usage and processes.
- Integrate with Google Sheets to control fishes.
- Back it with an URL that generates a JSON file.

This month, a blog post with the [story behind Rusty Aquarium][RustyAquariumStory]
was published on the [Agical] blog. The code was restructured and the packaged
files now contain binaries for input data generation.
