Are you thinking of 'towel.blinkenlights.nl' which plays ASCII Star Wars in the terminal? There's a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbiay2zUKL0

There's a compatibility table for the data you can access on each system.
I've since learned to also follow along using the walkthroughs provided, since they provide answers to the most basic of questions that I would have asked.
If I get something wrong, my boss lets me know, I learn from my mistakes and ship out good quality software.
The logic was there, but I still couldn't understand most of what was going on, unfortunately.
Through trial and error, I eventually managed to get something working.
>How can you write business logic at work without loops? It's not that I don't use them, it's that I have a hard time figuring out how to use them in the context of solving the problem.
To be honest, I'm only just able to write a program in C, which is the required language for these CS50 tasks.
I've never been asked to do this kind of work before, so I had no idea where to really start.
The walkthroughs provided in the course gave me a high level overview to the solution required, but being able to translate that pseudo-code, if you will, was the part which I was completely stuck on for a while.
I felt like I should have known at least how to start off solving this problem using prior knowledge I had gained through commercial experience, but I was wrong, and none of my experience thus far was able to guide me in the direction which ended up with an answer to the problem.
Thank you for your reply. I do intend to work further on my skills in order to get better!
I do tend to make things harder for myself, as my boss and fianceè have told me before.
I usually end up with a very convoluted solution which I end up coming back to and refactoring the next day.
And some of the questions being posed (which are all expected to be solved in C) are a little tricky for me to figure out on my own without some of the niceties which I have been exposed to in higher level languages.
Perhaps the hardest of these was the Credit Card Validation example.
I was stuck for such a long time on trying to figure out how to utilise an array with for loops to multiply every second number of the card backwards.
This is Introduction to Computer Science and all of this is from week 1, so I was pretty much falling at the first hurdle.
I felt of low value for not being able to provide immediate help for most of the problems that she's being taught to work on.
Some of the examples (since some of you were asking for them): https://github.com/cs50/docs/blob/master/_pages/2018/x/psets...

I realise that I may have written my original post a little hastily as I was feeling quite strong about having inadequate knowledge to solve these problems.
You've all been super nice to me, and I can understand where you are all coming from.
Again, thank you.
As an aside, the problem that I was stuck on earlier, I managed to solve through a bunch of trial and error, so I'm chalking that one up as a win for tonight.
