[Solved] Archbang pacman terminal graphic

Maybe there is an Archbang person about?

I tried to register on the Archbang forum but found it not possible at the moment.

Small question and forgive me I do not have a screenshot;
When I use pacman in Archbang there is a nice progress graphic, instead of just ########....

It is more like c-------------........with a 'chomping c' animation.

How do I install this on Arch?

Line 796 in pacman.c (3.3.3) there's ILoveCandy... one of the "misc options"
So you just add ILoveCandy under [options] section and it will print like that.

ancleeson4;

The depiction of a c----------.is an attempt to reproduce the Pacman scenario of the original pacman video game.

It might depict it better if capital c was used;;;thus:

C------------------------
