Output a Zelda-style heart meter for your MacBook's battery level. On the command line. Based on an idea from @stephencelis, executed by myself. For a tmux version, see https://gist.github.com/4324139

zelda-battery.sh

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
#
# Works best with blinking text; the last heart will blink
# when you have less than 25% of your battery life remaining.

BATTERY="$(pmset -g ps | awk 'NR==2' | perl -pe 's/.*?(\d+)%.*/\1/')"

if [[ $BATTERY -lt 25 ]]; then
  echo "\e[5;31m♥\e[0;31m♡♡\e[0m"
elif [[ $BATTERY -lt 50 ]]; then
  echo "\e[31m♥♡♡\e[0m"
elif [[ $BATTERY -lt 75 ]]; then
  echo "\e[31m♥♥♡\e[0m"
else
  echo "\e[31m♥♥♥\e[0m"
fi

In case I have to look this up again, this is how I ended up doing it:

zelda() {
  BATTERY="$(pmset -g ps | tail -1 | perl -pe 's/.*?(\d+)%.*/\1/')"

  if [[ $BATTERY -lt 25 ]]; then
    echo "%{$fg_blink[red]%}♥%{$fg_bold[red]%} ♡ ♡ "
  elif [[ $BATTERY -lt 50 ]]; then
    echo "♥ ♡ ♡ "
  elif [[ $BATTERY -lt 75 ]]; then
    echo "♥ ♥ ♡ "
  else
    echo "♥ ♥ ♥ "
  fi
}
