This was largely inspired/copied-wherever-appropriate from this older project where I tried to get this video or one of its variants to play on a calculator in a somewhat efficient manner.

Two days, and many tears over lost notes because apparently if you don't test your backups, you ain't got a backup, and a bit of magic with Python and varying libraries, I recreated what I had except it has a much neater process of making a video that doesn't require any intermediate user interaction or arcane commnad-line invocations.

Spoiler For That Python Script:

Pasting my Python script here since I really don't want to lose it.

I'm also total Undertale trash and I wanted to do something that involved it. So I chose one particular video and ran the converter. I think it turned out pretty well. Check it out here:

Attached to the post is the empty source needed to build and the app that resulted from the build.

Waoh that's really neat o.o Does it work with arbitrary videos?

I haven't looked much at your code but how do you store the video on the calculator? is it full frames?

I've been meaning to try making a GIF-style video player for the calculator (updating only the smallest rectangle in each frame that covers all the changes in the frame)—should still be pretty fast to render, but I don't know if that saves much memory.

This is looking awesome!
About your python script (it probably uses the file reading/writing functions i made you some time ago, right?

) Anyhow i'd recommend replacing this:

Code: [Select]

def readFile(file):
  a = []
  f = open(file,'rb')
  b = f.read(1)
  while b!=b'':
    a.append(ord(b))
    b = f.read(1)
  f.close()
  return a
 
def writeFile(file,a):
  f = open(file,'wb+')
  f.write(bytearray(a))
  f.close()

with this:

Code: [Select]

def readFile(file):
  with open(file,'rb') as f:
    a = []
    b = f.read(1)
    while b!=b'':
      a.append(ord(b))
      b = f.read(1)
  return a
 
def writeFile(file,a):
  with open(file,'wb+') as f;
    f.write(bytearray(a))

As you can see, there is no need for an f.close() as the with...as statement does that for you, that also guarantees that the filehandler gets closed in the case of an exception in that block

After learning Haskell I feel like everything ought to be as functional as possible...

Real cutscenes in Escheron next plox.

Seriously though, this looks pretty sweet. ^^
