World Cup in ASCII

Recommended Posts

Can't watch the world cup on a local tv station?

 

Don't worry!

 

 

 

 

 

All you need to do is

 

 

 

A) Open up the Run dialog (start->run) and type in 'telnet ascii-wm.net 2006' (without quotes)

 

For best performance, right click on the title bar and go to properties, then hit the font tab and select 4x6

 

 

 

ooooor for those of us who use linux

 

 

 

B) Open terminal and type in 'telnet ascii-wm.net 2006' you shouldn't have to resize as much :P

 

 

 

 

Video: http://www.geocities.com/nvolution/wmascii.html - Flash movie of one of the ads at the end - Very choppy, the actual feed was much smoother :P

 

 

 

(And about the IP, it's not useful to anyone outside my network ;) No harm can be done... unless they have a computer in their network using 192.168.1.101

This is illegal and breaks copyright laws. In other football sites i use they ban people from talking about feeds, or even giving information about them, but i dont know, perhaps tip its rules a bit more relaxed?

 

 

 

Theres another program called PPLive which is similar, except its in chinese.

BK.
