Squeak includes a MoviePlayerMorph which can play squeak movies with the extension .movie.
Note that these movies have nothing to do with Quicktime movies.
A squeak movie a series of uncompressed binary Squeak forms. Look at MoviePlayerMorph's class comment to see an example, which boils down to Form>>#writeOnMovie:.
To rebuild the movie from the pixar gif:
1. Download the animated gif (right click on image ... save picture)
2. Use a tool (for instance AnimationShop from PaintShop5) to save the frames as bitmaps. The animated gif has 12 frames, so we name the bitmaps like the following: luxo003.bmp, luxo006.bmp, .... ,luxo036.bmp
You can also download a zip file with the frames.
3. Evaluate the following code in squeak:
| ps zps f32 out ff |
out _ FileStream newFileNamed: 'luxo.movie'.
out binary.
ff _ Form extent: 64@64 depth: 32.
- (22 64 64 32 12 100000) , (7 to: 32)
do: [:i | out nextInt32Put: i].
3 to: 36 by: 3 do: [
:i | ps _ i printString. zps _ ps padded: #left to: 3 with: $0.
f32 _ Form fromFileNamed: 'luxo' , zps , '.bmp'.
f32 displayOn: ff at: 0@0. "Convert down to 16 bits"
ff display; writeOnMovie: out].
out close.
