Notch's Ludum Dare video for Metagun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV-AFnCkRLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV-AFnCkRLY) was inspiration for a series of scripts I now use for clients and my own entertainment purposes (for some loose definition of "entertainment"). It's a series of shell scripts I use that screencap videos of coding and set them to music (so, for example, rendering a 48-hour coding competition to a 5-minute song, or as I more typically do for clients, render the development process down to a few minutes for them to watch in fast-time how their development was done). It's called watchmecode (https://github.com/choptastic/watchmecode https://github.com/choptastic/watchmecode) and I just have to do ./make-av-video.sh /path/to/video.mpg /path/to/song.mp3 And it does the rest, and outputs it to "done.mp4" The result is something that looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwn7mfmo0SQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwn7mfmo0SQ (disclaimer, I've plugged this before on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5685859 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5685859)
