I'm not sure how long this has been around but i thought it was pretty cool (how much of a geek does that make me? )

telnet into towel.blinkenlights.nl and sit back and enjoy

Wow...that was pretty amazing...I used to dabble with that a bit...but never animation...lol

I once changed a guys log in script so that his name came up as O B Door K nobby

I only watched for 2 or 3 minutes, is it the whole movie?

 

[alexpmcmurphy]

i dont think so, ive never watched the whole thing but somebody told me it cuts off when luke saves leah from the prison "arent you a little short for a storm trooper?"

 

[Mark_88]

I watched it for quite a while...must have been 20 or more minutes...I was actually expecting Christmas lights when I read the title...but then I got interested in how they did it...

I once made a "Matrix" screen saver...lol...it was a dir /s command that was pretty funny...except I couldn't change the color and make it a continuous loop...so I gave up...

 

[CHKNFKR]

repped. that was awesome!

 

[Mark_88]

Yeah, forgot to give rep for you the first time...but got ya now...

tried running it on my phone, didn't work. sure i can watch it on youtube on my phone, but it would be way cooler to run the script

 

[CHKNFKR]

welp, got it running on my phone, not quite right though. some of the lines run into the next line and other such sillyness....
