The Story of Startle: A Saga Unfolds
Not too long ago
in a house
not too far away
a hacker had a vision.
A vision of text scrolling
up a screen upon which
was a moving starfield.
Just like in Star Trek.
He had the vision.
He had the tools to implement it.
And he had some time to kill.
He wanted it to be overscan
just like T.V.,
and he wanted it double-buffered
so it would scroll smoothly,
and he wanted it to be in yellow
because he likes yellow
So he worked on it for a while
and decided to call it "Startle"
which is "Star Title" sideways.
Sort of.
He also wanted it to take any text file
so you could just type:
`startle <file>'
and it would rip.
