Show HN: Sneakers (1992) in Your Terminal

60 pointsryan-c10mo ago7 comments

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/ansi-player-rs

https://github.com/ryancdotorg/ansiani

I haven't posted the SSH part yet, but that is planned along with a writeup.
