This project takes ANSI Art from back in the day and puts it up on display as it should be. It uses a Raspberry Pi A+ (had it laying about), a small amount of Python and Linux to display the art. The art is selected at random from the scene artpack archives (see sixteen-colors archives). The art is displayed in portrait mode with a faux baud rate delay.
I'm using a 19" 16:10 aspect monitor as the main project screen. The two images with the NES controller phone cover on the left hand side are running on a 80cm LCD.
While we are still having some problems reading certain ANSI we've updated the script at github at the request of some users to add additional features
CHANGELOG:
v04:
added external config file as per issue #7
repaired issue #6, arose from last commit
v03:
reads both zip and ans/asc etc from the libraries directory
changed rendering method but still term width dependant
There is the potential that the decode func in python may not support everything we need for cp147 so may have to look at that.
