Show HN: Sneakers (1992) in Your Terminal

by ryan-c on 5/7/25, 2:39 PM with 7 comments

I've converted the movie Sneakers to a "high def" terminal animation, complete with subtitles.

The frames were rendered using the Python `tv` package, the subtitles were done with custom tools, and the ssh backend is russh.

Try it!

ssh ansi.rya.nc

(bonus: try "rickroll" as the username)

    Wow I didn't know anyone could do anything like this over SSH, truly I live in the future past! Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

    Amazing stuff. Do you have a write up with more details? Is your code open source somewhere?
