in fact, both of my parents pressured me into computer science :-) the animation is my own desire

and when your aunt wants you to be an musician

thank you!

Imagine someone testing the computer program to see if it would work. All of a sudden the program starts glitching, then this song plays.

Maybe you are watching the program from a plane but it glitches you into this weird glitched dimension

I agree!!!

It means a lot more to that to me as a windows and Linux poweruser who is way too tech savvy for his age

Like you.

Like you.

Like you.

Like you.

You you you you

that's all i could have hoped for. thank you so much for your kind words, it makes it all worth it

interesting, i haven't considered that angle before

thank you! it took me about 40 hours, if i had to estimate, with an additional 5-10 to make CLIRender (the renderer) itself. the whole project was going for about a month if i remember correctly. also, yes! "when people just manage to hide a story beneath their work" is one of my favourite things too!

@@plaaosert thats amazing, and time comsuming, 17 thousand views you are very underrated for your work

​@@plaaosertdamn, you made a renderer library for this?? Is it publicly available??

yes - check the description. it's unfortunately incomplete (layer support is patchy and there's a lot of other stuff i want to improve) but it's there :-)

ideas like that are what i tried to capture in the animation too

thank you! that ping screen is one of my favourites too, as well as the corrupted weather news directly before

it can be arranged

@@plaaosert :eyes:

Why not have it as a moving background

@@plaaoserthas it been arranged

you know i completely forgot about this. it has been arranged. import this as a local page wallpaper in wallpaper engine drive.google.com/file/d/1aCjLRSigdPGIYXY-Qqzi3Zefvz1ZD_jL/view?usp=sharing

that's a concept i love to play with too; because old things designed to last don't just vanish when they're replaced; sometimes they are not (or can not) be turned off

thank you very much :-)

thank you so much it means a ton to hear that

"polish" i assume meant "polished"

its so polish 🇵🇱

similar to my own

im a huge fan of frums' older tracks

@@plaaosert same same same theyre so cool istg

: ) it's wonderful seeing people appreciate the video, no matter how many

thank you very much

yeah, i also found a sort of post-apocalypse feeling as i was making the animation

thank you!

Nothing is fully functional. Some snippets still work. No online servers, an empty server list.

the intended viewing environment

bro fax

The temperature was 68 degrees,

the dew point, 47 -

and the relative humidity, 46 percent.

The wind was southwest at 13 miles an hour.

thank you! yes, credits is one of my favourite BGA videos from frums and this is my sort of tribute to it

@@plaaosert i'd love to learn more about it, maybe you could post a tutorial ? haha

hmm well it depends on what you mean exactly. for the technical side i have a reasonably well-commented version of CLIRender and the animation on the github repo linked in the description - aesthetics wise i mostly play it by ear so that is harder

@@plaaosert yeah i don't know which part does what in there, but i really just like the way the letters switch flawlessly without any stutter, the only other way i know of is os.system('CLI') but you can notice when it gets cleared

oh, that's a thing called ansi escape codes. using the code "\033[y;xH", you can set the position of the cursor in the command line to line y and column x - which means i can overwrite specific blocks of text on screen as if they were pixels. my rendering engine uses this in a very optimised way to smoothly render each frame see this gist: gist.github.com/fnky/458719343aabd01cfb17a3a4f7296797

haha, I've always loved that part too - glad you noticed it!

thank you :-) I'm glad you liked

thank you :') that's so kind of you [ google translate ] ありがとう :') とても親切です

I heavily imply a a catastrophe here but yeah that is an interesting idea for an alternative story. for this, it is essentially an autonomous terminal of some kind trying to connect to the service after some sort of calamity. the music itself is heavily open-ended so it's not surprising multiple interpretations exist

@@plaaosert cool!

thank you :-) i too love animations synced to the music

thank you!

@@plaaosert now do options ex

thank you :-) also, interestingly, the views on this video per day have been pretty much the same since it was published - the lifetime views graph is basically a straight line

frums is a wonderful artist, i'm glad i could contribute to one of my favourite songs - and that you enjoyed watching :-)

@@plaaosert :-)

thanks!

thank you! it does have a very unique feeling

:] thank you for the support

thank u my guy it means a lot

thank you! i checked your channel and im a fan of ur videos too

was like "wait isnt this the ctwc guy" and then lost my mind

oh my god is that the ctwc guy? yoooo

i'm glad you liked it, yes, in my opinion the sync is much much better on the second half of the animation - you can definitely tell there's a learning process from the start to the end

true...

i really do read all of them x)

:-)

thank you :] im glad you like it

thank you! I'm glad you like it enough to revisit

❤️

indeed. writing ansi to the terminal on windows is a remarkably slow process, so a lot of optimisation went into it too

:-) I'm glad you noticed

im very happy you like it that much :)

ahaha well, my process is a little um... haphazard... so not sure i can really document that - but thank you regardless!

i'm glad you liked it! interesting that it gets recommended from the credits bga too - i suppose it makes sense

much appreciated :-) glad you enjoyed

thank you :-]

all it takes is motivation and patience. u can do it!

ya i checked, good taste btw

@@plaaosert just did it on the laziest possible way lel, thats just how my code looks when im coding in a hunch

I'm very happy you enjoyed

your kind words mean a lot to me, thank you too

thank you :-)

it's a lesser known skill, one that i haven't seen anyone else use aside from a few scant cases. certainly very fulfilling though. thank you for your kind words

thank you so much :-) and i agree the song is amazing

haha, they did! it's wild seeing an idol of yours appreciating your work

thank you :-)

this project was born from my love for the song and a lot of experience with CLI rendering. i also saw typography videos of credits in the past (as well as the original BMS) which inspired me to make my own take on the whole song!

thank you!

thank you very much :-) the terminal rendering style is my favourite

@@plaaosert damn this comment is 1 year old already huh. I still keep coming back to it hah

i'm glad you do!

thank you :-) yes, frums' music is great

it's never too late! and thank you very much, you are kind

thank u so much for the kind words :')

‼️‼️💯

i'm glad i could help you! hope your project turns out great

thank you :-)

you are very kind thank you

thank you :-)

thank you! im happy you enjoyed it

glad to hear it worked :-) the python package ecosystem is a nightmare and i abhor working with it. such a shame, too, since i otherwise swear by the language

thank you for your kind words :-) i'm glad you liked it

@@plaaosert You're welcome, it is the first video I have seen like this and I was fascinated c:

heh, I'm not so sure about that, I'm very very new to BMS as a whole - got no idea how to even participate ^^

@@plaaosert joining the bms discord would help actually

like you. :-)

​@@plaaosertlike you. :-)

glad you like it :-)

thank you! you're very kind

ayo should i make lyrics

there's lyrics in the repo in the description :-) everything i wrote is public there

@@plaaosertoh ok

glad you like it!

i appreciate the kind words :-)

that's wonderful. it's all i could have asked for

thank you :] i enjoyed making it

thank you :-) frums has seen this! it was very nice to see them appreciate it as well

i'm glad you liked it :-)

First not hearted or replied comment

you wish

and thank you so much for the kind words!

thank you! I'm happy you like it

so are you :-) thank you!

I'm happy about it too - also yes, i would love to make more videos and i intend to when i get some free time again :-)

Indeed

Indeed @@plaaosert

go for it!

like you. like you. like you. like you.

I'm happy I've been able to make something you like

I'm very happy you enjoyed it :-) indeed, python is capable of many things [google translate] 我很高兴你喜欢它 :-) 事实上，python 可以做很多事情

thank you! i tried to make it as faithful as i could to the overall theme of both my idea of the song's feel and the original music video

thank you! however i am not the author of the extended version - that is actually Frums' own work. i am only the maker of the animation.

thankyou :-)

@@plaaosert would you mind going into a little detail on how you did this? I'm really interested in how you timed it so well, what you used for animating it or anything you want to talk about. Found the song on Osu, I'm a comp sci myself and love Frums so I've shared it with all my friends :D Thanks!

hey - yeah, sure! the repository is in the video description for one but i will explain briefly how i timed and animated it. - first off, i used a library called "just-playback", which supported viewing current audio time and seeking; two of the things i needed. my animation system requests a new frame based on the time delta from the last frame rendered, so at the point of requesting a frame the system stores the time it was requested then requests the next at exactly (delay; calculated by offset+bpm) ms later. this means that temporary lag and frame render time do not affect the playback sync of the animation. (also, this is used pretty much everywhere for when timing is important! never rely on sleeps! always make sure you're timing based on the system-accurate time) - as for the animation, that's a hand-made animation/rendering framework written by me called CLIRender. it's also inside the repository to take a look at and is reasonably well commented. the basic method is that we use ANSI escape codes to jump the cursor to specific points on the screen and set its colour accordingly. i do optimisations to reduce the number of ANSI codes used as they're (comparatively) expensive compared to regular text rendering, especially on windows. for example, to print an ansi code in python to set the cursor position to line 2 column 3, i would print "\u001b[2;3H", which is consumed by the terminal and repositions the cursor. colours are "\u001b[31;1m" for bright red, for example. there's a hack on windows which allows you to enable ANSI mode using "os.system("")" (yes, that's an empty string), which i still haven't worked out why it just... works. my resource for most ANSI things is either the wikipedia article or www.lihaoyi.com/post/BuildyourownCommandLinewithANSIescapecodes.html - both of which are very good. - i didn't use anything else to animate, it was all written by hand using the animator. since terminal rendering has a lot in common with old console canvas rendering, it made sense to have each frame not as a fully rendered scene but as a "delta" which only drew the updates. a parallel here would be P/B-frames in MP4, as opposed to I-frames. most of the animation was done using a "functional programming" style, in which Generator objects were stored with their own data and functions called each step. the project is reasonably complex so i can't explain everything. also, glad to see someone else doing compsci! i'm a year 2 university student for compsci as of right now and, just like you, i found frums from osu maybe 4 or so years ago (back when i actually played it, lol). i'd be glad to help show more about the animation framework; i intend to at some point release it as an entire package usable by others to make their own animations.

@@plaaosert thanks for the info, lined up with what I was expecting but I can't believe that it's manually manually made. Looks like an Adobe after effects edit, I believe the comment that said this took 45h. I'm also from the UK second year of A levels in Maths, FM and Physics. Going to Bath for electrical and electronic eng. Thank you for the explanation have a good new year and good luck at Uni. Also subbed and followed your twitch. Cya soon.
