Let's take a look at this special work. Though calling it a movie might be giving it too much credit, it is indeed an incredible piece. The creator set up a telnet server and wrote text output scripts, forming characters into figures and scenes. By refreshing multiple frames of character scripts, dynamic effects are created. Thus, any kind of telnet terminal can connect to this server and enjoy the work. It uses the famous movie "Star Wars" as its base, successfully rendering the "Star Wars" storyline in the special form of characters. Without sound or actors, it achieves various complex character shapes and realistic movie-like dynamic effects.

The steps to enjoy it are as follows:

1. Confirm that your computer can connect to the internet.

2. In Windows Start->Run->Input:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

3. Wait a moment---watch---Star Wars
