 Okay, today we're gonna have some fun with some retro animation some some ASCII Animating animations, so we're gonna get you know animations in our shell using ASCII characters Basically characters that are on your keyboard to put simply So real quick here is a website actually have two websites here Let me grab the other one here, and I'm sure you can find others with some Animation files this one obviously has a lot more. I'll try to remember put a link to these in the description if not There's the address artscene.textfiles.com forward slash VT 100 if it tells you right here what a VT 100 is basically there as I said ASCII animations used to Show animations in a terminal machine And you need to know the broad rate that you're gonna use right here These are saying a broad rate of 9600 so let's go ahead and click on one of these files like this one It says Bambi versus Godzilla we click on that and well We got some text and you can see some ASCII art here And well basically it's this is our animation. These are our frames of our animation so how do we display them what we're gonna go to our shell and You can use curl or W get or if you have the file you can cat it out And let's go ahead and have a look at how that works. So I'm gonna say I'm gonna copy this file Oops, I actually opened it. We're going to copy this address And then go to our shell and again we use W get dash Q for quiet dash Capital O dash to just get the output. So if I just run this now, I'll do that and basically we get Kind of nothing well you get the last frame. I guess I should say so if I scroll up here You get the kind of gives away the ending here of the video but Basically it's going to show each frame and overwrite So if you just cat it out, you're going to get the very last frame of it. So again if we were to Click on one of these files and look at it there's Special characters in here. They're escape characters for your shell that are going to do things like erase the screen for you Without getting too technical. So let's go ahead and try that again, but instead of Just running W get and our command which just loads it so fast We we basically played all our animation. We just missed it what we needed to slow it down again These particular ones from this website say that they use a broad rate of 9600 so we need to do is we need to pipe this into a command called PV Dash Q dash capital L and we'll say 9600 and that will give us the broad rate of what I always have trouble that We're broad rate of 9600 we'll hit enter and here is our animation It was a pretty short animation baby comes out a Bambi comes out and gets stepped on by Godzilla And then you get a little credit thing at the end there if we want to play it slower We can slow down our broad rate I'll just put down to 3600 and now we see our animation a little slower And we can even go slower if we wanted and that's Bambi versus Godzilla And again, there's plenty of these them at this site some are better than others Let's go ahead and see we're gonna look at one with a big file So you can see the file size here, which means it's probably a longer animation I'm gonna copy that link address and again We can use the same command or if you were to use curl All you have to do is say curl dash s and then give it the URL again piping it to PV And let's put this back up to 9600. Oh We got a globe and you can actually see the cursor Going across the screen on this but we got the globe spinning in ASCII art there, which is pretty cool Still going and spun a little bit now. It's continuing off again And when it gets the end we'll look at another option for this We'll go and we'll grab another one. We'll look at this one Mr. Pumpkin that sounds good. We'll say copy link address and again So in both cases we just streamed it offline. Basically, we're streaming ASCII videos in a way if you want to call it that Even though they're not video files, but you can also download the file So if I was to download this file It's right here. I can cat it into PV dash Q dash capital L 9600 and it does the same thing. Oh You had to give it the file name There we go. Oh Quick little happy Halloween and there's the art now if it does display kind of funny like this one is it might be Your font size so like I can turn my font size down Try running that again. I guess that's how that one's supposed to look But it went off the top of the screen. So shrinking it down gives me a little better display here I have my font larger than normal for these videos and If we go or go here again, this one's VT 100 net forward slash animations And they have a list of Christmas ones here zero through nine. So real quick Let's go ahead and write ourselves a little loop here. I'm just gonna copy and paste it I have it in my notes. We're gonna loop from zero through nine and we're going to download each one and put through I at a slower blood rate. So we can watch all these animations all at once A little snow action there Merry Christmas a Bird flying through the snow, I guess. Oh and a Christmas tree growing So now we're on our fourth animation little Christmas tree with a little train going around it Little Merry Christmas. Cheers. Oh little jack-in-the-box jingle bells Little bird, I guess flying to this Christmas tree. Oh And lighten up happy holidays Some of these are really short and something might I need to adjust the speed a little bit to view them properly well, it's just a little bit of a retro fun here and and Okay, sometimes this might happen So your shell might get kind of screwed up and if you try to type like I can type let me type hello world Hello world. Yeah, it's not quite working. What you can type is reset And hit enter and that should reset yourself. That's anytime that your shell gets garbled like that That's just a little bonus tip So I just typed reset and that resets your shell if your fonts get all screwed up like that So I do thank you for watching.
