Text Movie Player demonstration using Star Wars

This is a demonstration of an improved player for Simon Jansen's ASCIImations.

To start the movie playing, click on the play button.

This player has the following improvements on the original player:

• It has control buttons.
• It supports both forward and reverse play.
• It takes the movie title and filename from parameters, rather than hardwiring them into the player. The same player can thus be used for different movies.

I am still working on eliminating the following bugs if I can find a way:

• The player does not redraw the current frame if the window is obscured.
• The play control buttons only take effect after the current frame has finished being displayed.
