## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why did this winning entry win the **Sur** prize? As the expression goes,
|
|
"Seeing (and hearing) is believing": or at least can lead to better
|
|
understanding of the code. :o)
|
|
|
|
In addition to the visual output, this program will attempt to use
|
|
`/usr/bin/aplay` to play a raw 8kHz/8-bit unsigned sound file (a copy
|
|
of which may be find found in the file `ref.raw`).
|
|
|
|
In case you do not hear any sound, or lack `/usr/bin/aplay`, or otherwise
|
|
cannot play a raw 8kHz/8-bit unsigned sound file: in separate window
|
|
using your favorite sound player, play the WAVE file `ref.mp3` while
|
|
you are running this code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Author's remarks:
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
This requires a terminal emulator that supports 24-bit ANSI colors.
|
|
These days most Linux terminal emulators do, including stock xterm
|
|
(at least on Debian).
|
|
|
|
There is sound too! On a Debian system at least if you have `/usr/bin/aplay`
|
|
it will attempt to pipe the sound into it at the default 8kHz/8-bit unsigned.
|
|
If `aplay(1)` is not detected it will write the sound to the file `r.raw`
|
|
which you can then try to play on your sound program of choice, or if
|
|
you have a SUN machine, cat it to `/dev/audio`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Obfuscation
|
|
|
|
It was so hard to get this to fit in the size requirements that I stopped
|
|
obfuscating once I made it fit.
|
|
|
|
Attempts to make things look cooler or shrink things more only seemed
|
|
to make things bigger somehow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Background
|
|
|
|
Hopefully it's obvious what this is. I wish I had more space, I could
|
|
have made it sneakier and also had a few more frames of animation.
|
|
|
|
It's about half animation, half music right now. I should have optimized
|
|
the music better.
|
|
|
|
Believe it or not this is actually a rough port of an Atari 2600 version
|
|
of this program.
