Blinkenlights Movie (*.blm) (partly copied from http://www.blinkenlights.de/) A Blinkenlights Movie is a simple text file that you can create with any text editor. The file starts with a single identifier line (# BlinkenLights Movie x) and then contains all the images of your movie (frames) one after another. Each frame starts with an @ followed by its delay time in milliseconds. @1000 equals 1 second. Following this comes the image. Every image consists of Y-Size lines with X-Size digits each. A 1 represents a switched-on lamp while a 0 stands for complete darkness. For instance: # BlinkenLights Movie 18x8 @200 000000000000000000 000011100011100000 000111110111110000 000111111111110000 000011111111100000 000000111110000000 000000001000000000 000000000000000000 @800 000011100011100000 000111110111110000 001111111111111000 001111111111111000 000111111111110000 000011111111100000 000000111110000000 000000001000000000 Implementation details You may put any number of comment lines between the identification line and the first frame. Every comment line must be preceded by an # character. The end of line may be a CR (ASCII 13), a LF (ASCII 10) or CRLF (ASCII 13 + ASCII 10). We recommend saving your file with LF. Two frames may be seperated by one or more empty lines.
