Does anyone remember the "DEC Shooting Gallery" animation? Back in the 70's, the early days of computing, the Computing Centre of our university had some PDPs 11/34 and 11/45, which ran RT-11, RSX-11M, or even DOS. I remember having an ASCII file with ANSI control sequences which produced a nice animation on our VT100s and compatible CIT-101s of a gun, located a the bottom of the screen, shooting grenades at spaceships, coming from the left, while displaying nice clouds with some phrases like "sh*t" or "da**ed* when it had missed the ships. Since I can't find it anymore, I like to know if it's still around somewhere. Thanks in advance, -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lex Hensels, Computing Center, Delft University of Technology, Post Office Box 354, 2600 AJ DELFT, The Netherlands.
