`prettyping` is a wrapper around the standard `ping` tool with the objective of making the output prettier, more colorful, more compact, and easier to read. `prettyping` runs the standard `ping` in the background and parses its output, showing the ping responses in a *graphical* way at the terminal (by using colors and Unicode characters). `prettyping` is written in `bash` and `awk`, and is reported to work on many different systems and different versions of `awk`.
