       ibniz - Virtual machine for compact low-level audiovisual programs

SYNOPSIS

          ibniz [OPTION]... [CODE]

DESCRIPTION

       Virtual machine for compact low-level audiovisual programs

       IBNIZ  is  a  virtual  machine designed for extremely compact low-level audiovisual programs. The leading
       design goal is usefulness as a platform for demoscene  productions,  glitch  art  and  similar  projects.
       Mainsteam software engineering aspects are considered totally irrelevant.

       IBNIZ  stands  for  Ideally Bare Numeric Impression giZmo. The name also refers to Gottfried Leibniz, the
       17th-century polymath who,  among  all,  invented  binary  arithmetic,  built  the  first  four-operation
       calculating  machine,  and  believed that the world was designed with the principle that a minimal set of
       rules should yield a maximal diversity.

       The IBNIZ virtual machine is basically a two-stack machine somewhat similar to Forth implementations  but
       with  the major difference that the stack is cyclical and also used as output buffer. The machine runs in
       an endless loop by default, with the loop counter variable(s) pushed on top of the stack  on  every  loop
       cycle.

       Each  instruction  is  one  character long, with the exception of 'loadimm' which consists of a string of
       hexadecimal digits. This also gives IBNIZ some flavor of an esoteric programming language.

OPTIONS

       --config=<file>
              Read configuration settings from <file>, if it exists.

       --version, -V
              Show this program's version number and exit.

       --help, -h
              Show this help message and exit.

       And a lot more standard docutils options.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       -h     Dump help on command line usage

       -v     Dump version info

       -c CODE
              Execute code

       -n     No autorun of loaded code

       The following extra options were added for creating the YouTube video:

       -e     Dump user keystrokes to stdout

       -p     Playback dumped user keystrokes from stdin

       -M     Dump raw video to stdout and raw audio to stderr, 30 fps, non-realtime, yuv4mpeg2 and pcm_s16

EXAMPLES

       Some commands used in this process, for reference:

       ./ibniz -e > events

       ./ibniz -M -p < events 2>vid.pcm | ffmpeg -y -i - -r 30 vid.avi

       ffmpeg -i vid.avi -f s16le -ar 44100 -ac 1 -i vid.pcm -vcodec copy vidav.avi
