watch futurama on an 8x8 pixel screen

Step 10 Post scripts

for people who build this i have included a couple of RGout.t 's for their viewing pleasure:

the intro to Futurama, the intro to Harvey Birdaman (including car chase!), and of course 00:17:20 from Farnsworth's Paradox.

as they are 64 pixel descriptions of tv, i assume that they fall under fair use at this point. the shows certainly aren't recoverable in any way from the data provided.


also, for people who don't build the device but would like to watch funny pixelly cartoons (or the tv news, whatever) anyhow, the python script contains commented out lines to make small bitmaps of the converted images.

typing `convert -delay 5 ./*.bmp Animated.gif` in the directory after running the uncommented script will produce an animated gif of the images which can then be played however you like, but i recommend `mplayer -fs Animated.gif` to get a fullscreen experience. ( you'll notice that the commented lines expand the images up to 256x256 pixels. this is not nearly as cool as watching the 8x8 versions blown up to fullscreen. check it out)
