The first 20 minutes of Star Wars Episode IV in Ascii using Java. This one is well done and worth a look. Great animations for Ascii, never thought something like this would be possible.
Enjoy the show.
Update: It is interesting to note that the animation is still available on the site it was published on. Please note that it requires Java to be enabled on your system to run the animation.
controls are provided at the bottom of the animation that let you control the frames. You can go back and forward just a bit or a lot, and fast forward or backward.
It is also interesting to note that all dialogs are displayed in the animation as text. This feels natural considering that these kind of animations do not come with sounds at all.
Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, is considered by many to be the best film of the series. While some would argue that Episode V or VI are indeed better, it is likely that not a single human being would say that the recent episodes are better (that is Episode I to III).
The animation lags at times, which can be attributed to the technology used. The animation does not use 25 or more frames per second, it is more like a stop motion kind of experience where screen objects are moved around more or less abruptly.
The animation ends in the prison block on the Death Star. It is unlikely that the developers will ever continue it. Oh, and there is a Rickroll in the end as well.
You can load other animations like the Death of Jar Jar Binks, who without doubt is the most hated Star Wars character of all times.
