About OpenGUIlion
OpenGUIlion is a very basic application written in Python that only does one thing: it shows non-interactive, animated GUIs from the "Evangelion" franchise.
Features
- Recreated interfaces from the computers and screens seen in "Evangelion", stretched to 2:1.
- Runs in Python 3.
Requirements
To run OpenGUIlion you need Python 3 with PyGame and PIL available. Some distros already include them, but in case yours doesn't you can easily install them through pip.
You also need some extra fonts that must be placed under the /openguilion/fonts/ folder and cannot be included in the repo for copyright reasons, whereas others can. How to get the copyrighted fonts is up to you and I will not provide further instructions nor direct downloads.
- Obtain "Helvetica Narrow Bold Regular" and name it
helvet.ttf. - Obtain "Helvetica Bold" and name it
helvetb.ttf. - Obtain "EVA-Matisse_Classic EB" and name it
matisse.ttf. Since it has been published in the Internet Archive I do not consider illegal to link it. Get it here.
You could try to use Arial Narrow and Arial Bold as replacements for Helvetica, but I have not tested these cases.
How to run
You can directly run openguilion.py from the command line. The program does not accept any arguments as of now. It has been tested under Python 3.9.
Future developments
- Additional scenes.
- Adapt the code so the app can be properly displayed in Waveshare's 6in flexible AMOLED screen.
