Show HN: Sneakers (1992) in Your Terminal
10 months ago
I've converted the movie Sneakers to a "high def" terminal animation, complete with subtitles.
The frames were rendered using the Python `tv` package, the subtitles were done with custom tools, and the ssh backend is russh.
Try it!
ssh ansi.rya.nc
(bonus: try "rickroll" as the username)
Wow I didn't know anyone could do anything like this over SSH, truly I live in the future past! Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
This is amazing!
for anyone (like me) who initially failed with the macOS terminal: you need to download iTerm2 or another 24-bit terminal.
What's the TERM variable for the default macOS terminal? I want to try to detect non-working terminals.

Amazing stuff. Do you have a write up with more details? Is your code open source somewhere?
It's a WIP, but some of the code is on github:

https://github.com/ryancdotorg/ansiani
I haven't posted the SSH part yet, but that is planned along with a writeup.
