You can execute your philo like this!
PHILO_ARGS="4 460 200 200 2" ruby -e 'args = ENV["PHILO_ARGS"].to_s.split; exec("./philo", *args)'And then we can use this oneliner to open directly on the browser using my visualizer:
export PHILO_ARGS="8 1260 200 200 10"; \
\
xdg-open "https://42-course.github.io/philosophers_visualizer/?log_gz_b64=$(ruby -e 'args = ENV["PHILO_ARGS"].to_s.split; exec("./philo", *args)' | gzip -c | base64 -w0 | sed -e 's/+/%2B/g; s/\//%2F/g; s/=/%3D/g')" | bash You can take the example bellow to test it:

Welcome to a cyberpunk-infused, pastel-powered, nerd-approved visualization of the legendary Dining Philosophers Problem. This project takes logs from a philosophers simulation and brings them to life — with motion, style, and lots of 🍴.
- 🎞️ Millisecond-by-millisecond animation
- 🍝 Interactive timeline with zoom, pan & scrub
- 🌀 Circular simulation view (drag, zoom, reset)
- 🖍️ Pastel color-coded actions (to make it aesthetic)
- ✍️ Supports log file upload or copy-paste
- 🧠 Visualizes fork states, philosopher actions, and deaths
- 💾 Auto-saves last session with localStorage
- Clone or open the
index.htmlin your browser (no server needed). - Paste or upload your philosopher log.
- Watch them dine, think, sleep, and... sometimes die.
- Use the scrubber, speed control, or jump buttons to navigate.
- Zoom into a philosopher, drag around the table, or hit 🔄 eeset if you get lost in thought.
Warning: staring too long may lead to philosophical existentialism.

- All philosophers are equal.
- All forks are sacred.
- All animations are smooth.
- All colors are pastel.
- All bugs are Schrödinger’s bugs (they exist until observed).
Contributions welcome — especially:
- 🪲 Bug fixes
- ✨ UI enhancements
- 🧩 New view modes
Just fork, philosophize, and PR away!
