       | One thing that isn't explained is how they deal with mapping the
       | animations for the diagonal strips in the second version? I had a
       | quick look at the code, but didn't see anything obvious.

       | This looks amazing, I love the idea and execution. Well done!

       | Could you put a whole flat screen display inside the CRT casing
       | instead?

         | You could, but you wouldn't be able to see through it. You
         | would also need a bigger battery to power it.

         | Incredible, I cant believe how good this live version is! Why
         | have I never heard this cover, hot damn, thanks for sharing!

       | This reminds me: I really need to catch up on the comic _" Saga"_

         | The good news is now there's a deadline to do so as new issues
         | were announced this month.

       | The answer to the density issue is not to use individual strips,
       | but a matrix. You can get them down to at least 2.5mm (1/10")
       | pitch.
       | 
       | Of course then you have a different problem - how to see out!

         | Matrix's need exponentially more computing power, and current
         | injection every 1000 LEDs or so. I've been looking into a 1m x
         | 2m matrix xmas display for one of my house windows, and have
         | decided to use low density strips to keep the cost and
         | complexity down.

           | Naturally, but OP specifically _wanted_ higher density - just
           | not necessarily _that_ high.

       | Clever and fun. I like the diagonal stripping of the led strips
       | to increase density.
