OK, I’m sure this sort of thing must have been done before. But — well, it was a lot more fun to code it myself than to search for someone else’s implementation  ;-)

#! perl -w
use strict;use Time::HiRes"usleep";sub o
($){hex$_[0]}++$|;my@t=(q,4a75737420,.qq
;616E6f74686572205065726c206861636B65;.q
,722c,)=~m,(..),xg;our($0,@c)=qq;%X;;sub
_{print(qq,\r,,join('',map{chr hex}@c));
usleep(274**2)}sub r{sprintf($0,int(rand
0x5e)+040);}$c[$_]=r for+0..$#t;_;my@z=(
-0..$#c);sub n{my($O)=@z;do{$O++if(o$c[$
_]==o$t[$_])}for@z;$O}do{for(@z){$c[$_]=
r unless(o$c[$_]==o$t[$_])}},_ while@t>n
