A neat video format made using text instead of pixels.

What is this?

This is a simple file format that can be used to make videos out of text. For example, you can turn a standard (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ into an animation of him flipping the table.

How does it work?

AVF files aren't standard video files. They're actually plain text, powered by a really simple 'programming language' of sorts. You don't need a fancy-pants editor or anything (although you could use one, if one exists). All you need is knowlege, an AVF player, and a text editor.

How do I make a video?

Look at our docs.

How do I make a player?

But why?

Mainly I did this for fun, but there are a few practical uses as well. Mostly, you can use this in a terminal, so it's not limited to GUI only.
