I Am An Audience, First and Foremost

quote [ I find Film borderline unwatchable, but I’m the sort of guy who got IMAX tickets for Mission: Impossible — Final Reckoning on opening weekend for me and my son. Tomorrow, actually.
[…]
Note: I apologize for a number of missing citations still present. I lost my document tracking those, but in the spirit of the article I swear I’ll fix it in reshoots. ]

So I spent 30min reading an article about spontaneous filmmaking while quoting and defending Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton.

+45min trying to recompress that GIF. phew. [Edit: and learning that you can only upload up to 300px GIFs]

Thumb is Buster Keaton in Sunset Boulevard. One of the waxworks.

So is this your GIF?

If so, may I continue to use it to test?

Also I will gladly reference.

Also is this a rabbit-hole not worth going down?

hmm, interesting concept – you should use a GIF source with positinal movement like this fly:

Thanks for the easier DEBUG.

5.r1xa { 1st debug :P }

Now time to go full RGB instead of greyscale and got to hide that base image at start.

More vectors.

So switched up a bit.

oh, I accidentally landet on your concept of a Pyhton-powered fake telnet game adventure.

Think I need to re-visit and push an update for that too.

Added a mini game to the telnet phase called Dork a short clone homage to ZORK, snake and semi working Tetris in Curses.

Started to build the 90's OS and added in tetris and snake and a calculator as "prog's" in the os as well as the EYETube site that shows the webcam recordings once webcamera fully added. {in PyGame with tinkter/os window sort of interactions everything launched already in desktop bar and such some to find even the "cmd-telnet" interface to interact with earlier level}

Been looking at packaging a few mini sites within the 90's OS such as a WIKIPEDIA dump with added articles that players can stumble across to find game lore.

would include an "Alex Jones" style site that would point to all the lore.

But that kernel of truth that 20 years ago something like this took quite some time to render. Now :)

I try to be more punctual now days.

EDIT: To see movement of a fly "sprite" even though that might be a tangent to look at.

Move in a movement pattern ok.

Now days yea its old its simple but it's learning principles for myself.
