This ANSI / Ascii viewer was designed _SPECIFICALLY_ to
|
|
address shortcomings with acidview and other viewers in
|
|
running ANSI/Ascii compos. I've run the Breakpoint and
|
|
Revision Ansi/Ascii compo for... um, I dunno how long.
|
|
A while. Well there hasn't been a Breakpoint since 2010
|
|
and I did unofficial compos there for a few years. The
|
|
first time I ran it, Acid View puked on me, and I heard
|
|
a bunch of crap from people - because admittedly, when
|
|
you submit something, you don't expect the viewer to
|
|
flake out on you and make it so your entry only is on
|
|
the screen for 5 seconds. In additional years it just
|
|
got WORSE. I used 'a3b' to run the compo at Outline
|
|
one year, and that worked fine - BUT most of the time
|
|
the compo machine is running some crap OS that isn't
|
|
Amiga and isn't Unix-like, so... PLUS the beam system
|
|
(in the US 'beam system' would be 'projector' (: )
|
|
at most demoparties these days is set to do full HD...
|
|
so if we just would do something in a browser, it would
|
|
all work out nicely.
|
|
|
|
That was the impetus for this, and it's turned out...
|
|
well, fairly well. It has been used at Revision 2013
|
|
and Evoke 2013, and the folks who saw their stuff in
|
|
it have basically said it is really good. I think it
|
|
needs a bit more feedback and some bugfixes, and the
|
|
folks at sixteencolors have had some suggestions and
|
|
then there's the "this could be included in ANSI packs"
|
|
idea...
|
|
|
|
* To run this you should use a modern browser.
|
|
* "Modern" means "not IE."
|
|
* someone _else_ might add stuff to make it work on IE.
|
|
* I will _NOT_ incorporate that into this code.
|
|
* Android tablets ARE considered modern; Ipad/Iphone too.
|
|
* I haven't tested on MorphOS yet.
|
|
|
|
To use with _local_ files you need to run your browser
|
|
in "developer" mode, that means:
|
|
|
|
*** DO NOT OPEN ANY LINKS ON THE INTERNET ***
|
|
|
|
This works just fine if you use remote urls for the files.
|
|
|
|
*** DO NOT. EVER. MIX REMOTE AND LOCAL FILES
|
|
WHEN USING THIS VIEWER. OR, FOR THAT MATTER,
|
|
RUNNING JAVASCRIPT DEMOS THAT USE DEVELOPER /
|
|
LOWER SECURITY MODE. PERIOD. THIS WARNING
|
|
APPLIES TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND
|
|
EVERY PERSON ALIVE, DEAD, OR IMAGINARY,
|
|
INCLUDING THE NONEXISTENT. ***

|
* tl;dr wtf omg how duz thz wrk omg wtf
|
|
|
|
1. Place the important files (.js, .css, .html, .sahli) on a webserver or local directory.
|
|
2. Put your ansi and ascii files on the webserver / local directory.
|
|
3. Edit the 'list.sahli' file (it's json) to have
|
|
the proper filenames.
|
|
* yes an editor is coming for the standalone
|
|
* for the integrated-with-partymeister version,
|
|
partymeister will do the sorting/listgen and you
|
|
will take the generated 'pack' and ... do something.
|
|
I'll write that code at some point after we work out
|
|
the details.
|
|
4. If you want edit other stuff too, like the descriptions
|
|
5. Open the index file in your browser. Something like
|
|
http://localhost/somewhere/sahli/index.html
|
|
or if it's on the web, then:
|
|
http://www.example.com/ansiasciicompo/sahli/index.html
|
|
6. When it says things are loaded, hit 'space' - OR ? or h
|
|
? and h are "help"
|
|
7. Everything is done by keys.
|
|
8. Ok on a tablet tap corners and stuff, cuz no keys.
|
|
|
|
- Great so yeah why is it 'Sahli'
|
|
|
|
Because I call Sal-One 'sally' and this is sort of close to
|
|
how one might say it if you had a bad Finnish accent, rather
|
|
than a Truck-can't-speak-Finnish-well accent.
