NodeJS script to play ACSII Star Wars (using a hidden cursor)

starwars.js

/**
 * A little script to play the ACSII Star Wars, but with a hidden
 * cursor, since over telnet the cursor remains visible
 */

var net = require('net')
var cursor = require('ansi')(process.stdout)

// connect to Star Wars server
var socket = net.connect(23, 'towel.blinkenlights.nl')

socket.on('connect', function () {
  cursor.hide()
  socket.pipe(process.stdout)
})

process.on('SIGINT', function () {
  socket.destroy()
})

process.on('exit', function () {
  cursor.show().write('\n')
})

I don't read that fast and I think it's good to have it here anyway.

      The hard work was done by Simon and Mike,
      I just placed it online in a different format.

       The IPv6 version has extra scenes and extra color support.
       So if you want to experience ascii starwars to it's fullest
       you really should get IPv6.

       www.sixxs.net or another IPv6 tunnel broker may
       help getting IPv6 to your computer.

       Good Luck,
