Star Wars Asciimation (2015)

Pity ^S/^Q don't work for pause/play. ^C/^Z also don't seem to work for quitting. I wonder what's preventing these keybindings from working. Very cool regardless.

Apparently 1999, but it was a Java applet at the time.

I couldn't find the original file. It was possible to play the movie with Notepad, by letting your finger press the "Page Down" or "Down" key.

In Firefox (v82) the text-field does not seem to render in a strictly non-proportional font. Thus everything is garbled. Unfortunately w3m text-mode browser isn't capable to display the page...

[EDIT] The following steps fix playback in Firefox for me:

- I press F12 to open the web-developer tools,

- select the "Console" Tab

- at the prompt at the bottom (marked by ">>") enter:

  document.querySelector("pre#screen").setAttribute("style", "font-family:Monospace;")

- press Return. Renders correctly now.

It's been sitting there like that for 10 minutes or so. How long does this thing take?
