I know you type 'monitor side secret/alongtimeago' to get it, but how would I write a program to start it? So if I did 'shell.run"starwars"' it'll play…

Me and a couple friends on a Hamachi server are building a Movie Theatre and are planning on coding some short films. I'll let you guys know when we get one done.

You could use the site that the actual program is based off of.. Its using that ASCII movie site. Just use the http api to draw out onto your computer monitor.

Yes, just use the http api. Read the code on the secret/alongtimeago.

Where is the secret/alongtimeago code?

And is it possible to have this play on loop on startup?

while true do
    shell.run("monitor", "(side)", "secret/alongtimeago")
end

And put it in the 'startup' file on the computer, remember to change (side) to the string representing the side the monitor is on
