Hey, I'm testing an ASCII-Animator in Perl...
I had it generate some frames and called it 'Space flyby'.
Care to take a look?

The script is handling layers that can be moved independently from
eachother.
Problems so far...
Transparent and opaque spaces.
Black blocks when a '.' passes through a field of 'X's...
Comment appreciated.
Sayonara!

Hi,
I looked at it, and it does not appear to be Pearl, the source saids it was
generated by ANA, wich is actually a Forth program ...

Clear Air Turbulence.", Oh this? This is just the player, the content of the 'cells', the actual flyby anim is generated with a perlprogram, of which I haven't given the code yet. All in due time. First I have to make some nice interface to it and make sure all layers and objects behave properly. This was just a little test, that was why I borrowed the code for the player. I didn't change anything in the header so that the author would not come warring down on me. Thus... Ojoshiro. PS I whaven't heard of the language "Pearl" before, please elaborate on that. -- ____ Time : Mon Oct 19 13:29:00 1998 .X+. . .Xx+-. . Money is a powerful aphrodisiac.

I guess you could make the perlscript, encapsulate the output with what is required for the java animation and save a step. > PS I whaven't heard of the language "Pearl" before, please elaborate on that. Well, not much to elaborate, as you probably already guess it, is a spelling problem well, you did get the message anyway :-)
