|    Converting PETSCII to (animated) GIF or     |
|    01 Jun 21 09:18:26    |
      From: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com              Greetings.              In the early 1990s I used to run a BBS that hosted many SEQ files       containing PETSCII graphics, including C64 colour and cursor control       codes. When the files were transmitted to users at 1200 baud, they       produced clever and beautiful animations. I'd like to convert these       animations to a format that can be easily viewed from a modern web browser.              So does anyone know of a free, preferably command-line tool that will       convert my PETSCII animations to an animated GIF or APNG? I know I       could write a simple CBM BASIC program to view the files, run it in       VICE, capture the emulator output to a video file, extract the       individual frames with ImageMagick, and then reassemble them into an       animated GIF using gifsicle. But that's a rather kludgy process that       requires a lot of manual intervention for each and every file I want to       convert; I was hoping there might be some dedicated tool that I could       just run directly on a given SEQ file and automagically get a GIF or       APNG as output.              Regards,       Tristan              --       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-        Tristan Miller       Free Software developer, ferret herder, logologist        https://logological.org/       =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
