Spoilers!

Yes I did just Rick Roll you with ASCII text!

I title the piece "Rick ASCIIly" (groan)

So what is going on?

Super simple - there are 44 pages each with a different "frame" of our ASCII video.

Each frame is then set to automatically load the next page using <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL = {next image URL}">

The last page then points to the first page to create an infinite loop!

By setting the delay to 0 and with a fast enough connection (or when all the images are cached locally) it actually performs reasonably well....it is just a shame I can't play audio as well!

Why?

Does it have any practical uses? no.

Did it get me locked out of my server as it triggered Mod Sec with too many requests? Absolutely!

Is it a bit of fun on a Friday? Yes

So happy weekend people, you got rick rolled with ASCII text so I win the internet for today !

Leave a comment if you hate me for this!
