      XPost: alt.ascii-art.animation       From: *@eli.users.panix.com              Over in comp.sys.raspberry-pi a few days ago someone mentioned the       Andalusian Video Snail animation, but lamented he couldn't find it. I       found it, and a player called slowcat.c, but it didn't play right.              I've rewritten slowcat.c to be more effective at slowly cating files,       and am releasing it with a large collection of videos.              Code plus videos:        https://github.com/Eli-the-Bearded/vt100-slowcat/              And blog post:        https://qaz.wtf/qz/blosxom/2020/08/22/slowcat              You'll likely need a Unix like environment (Linux, Mac, maybe WSL) and a       vt100 emulating terminal. xterm on Linux, iterm2 on Mac, not sure for       WSL.              See videos/grox/snails.vt for that "nature" documentary mentioned above.              slowcat -b 9600 videos/grox/snails.vt              Several of the videos still have alt.ascii-art newsgroup headers from       the early 1990s.              Elijah       ------       pointers to other videos welcome              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
