Frums - Credits EX animation

A fork of plaaosert's Frums - Credits animation repository to fix some issues on Linux.

In particular, the keyboard library has been replaced by pynput to avoid having to run the animation as root. The terminal is also now cleared at startup.

Tested on Python 3.10.9 (Manjaro 22.0.2)

How to run

Run credits.py. Required libraries:

• just-playback https://github.com/cheofusi/just_playback (See known issue)
• pynput https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput
• colorama https://github.com/tartley/colorama - the version of colorama used is also included inside this repository.

Controls

The original key bindings have been changed:

• Selecting an option in the main menu is now based on letters (instead of numbers)
• During animation playback:
  • P pauses the playback
  • K, L and M increase the speed of the animation (by a factor of 3, 7 and 15 respectively)

This change was made to support more keyboard layouts (numbers and some symbols require a combinaison of keys on other layouts such as azerty, which is not supported)

Known issue

Error illegal hardware instruction

This problem is due to the just-playback library on Linux, as the binaries are apparently not compiled correctly.
A simple fix is to reinstall the library by first running

pip uninstall just_playback 

and then building the library with

pip install --no-binary just_playback just_playback
