1984!
Authored by: bignumbers on Oct 22, '02 12:07:14PM

The first file I watched was the 1984 Apple commercial, fitting I think. For large (width/height) movies I had to do some serious reconfig of terminal settings.

Looking through the source there is code to handle color, but I wasn't seeing anything in color in the terminal. So chances are it's pretty close. Although monochrome seems more fitting.

There's no code to handle color, it simply calculates the brightness of each character based on the color values of the pixels of the movie. It doesn't try to recreate the colors. If you want a color version, have a look here.
