In 2017, I got more ambitious: I adapted the asteroid scene from "The Empire Strikes Back."

This time the sprite wasn't fixed in place — the Millennium Falcon needed to zip around.

This piece was released in Blocktronics' "Detention Block AA-23" artpack.

Later in 2015, I would teamed up with Whazzit to make another ANSI animation using similar parallax techniques.

We called it "Under the Sea," with a mermaid swimming through the ocean. It was released in Mistigris' 21st anniversary artpack.

Ten years ago, I made my first parallax-scrolling ANSI art animation. Today I cleaned it up, made it smoother and added titles and credits.

The original was a user-controllable tech demo I made for my late daughter Jadzia on our BBS, "Guardian of Forever."
