Command-Line Star Wars Animation
24 03 2008Just when I was starting to get used to the Command-Line Interface of Linux, my prof sent me a link to this pretty cool “2D Star Wars Animation” by the guys at Asciimation. Seriously, I think 2D is an understatement as it is made up PURELY from text characters in the command line. I don’t want to imagine how much time and effort they put into creating this cool animation frame by frame that runs in your command-line interface.
Do check out the full animation here.
For the latest version of their video, visit their website here.
Note: It is better to view the video on the website because you have the option of fast-forwarding and jumping between scenes
