Animations

Four terminal animations that make your animals come alive:

meeb penguin delay       # ✨ pixels materialize from nothing
meeb penguin slide       # → slides in from the right
meeb fox fall            # ↓ drops from the top with a bounce
meeb snail shatter       # 💥 appears, then explodes with gravity

shatter draws your animal, holds for a beat, then every character launches with random velocity and falls with real physics. It's wild. Try it.
