Random Question

Random question. Is there any game or some such here that can just play it self? Basically I have a big monitor that I need to just run something on that looks neat and animated and stuff like a running TV. But it's only really there for background decoration so I don't care about the content as long as something is running.

Split from here (as it has nothing to do with the creation of resource packs…).

For general "animations on a monitor", under CC1.76+ I use this. You stick it in a folder with some GIFs and it runs a random slideshow (converting the files to its own format in the process). Recommended to stick shell.run("bbpack compress") at the top of your startup if you're using CC's default storage space settings, though.
