sonic-acts-2000

Intiall attempt into piecing together a sonic acts website using infromation from the wayback machine

To assemble the website, this attempt makes use of the Wayback Machine Downloader

it is good to remember that Wayback Machine, archives sites incrementally, so if you have have to check when a page was archived by looking into the timestamp , do another download request and then assemble the website manually. timestamps appear on the webarchive URL formatted as YYYYMMDD (YEARMONTHDATE) followed by the site URL

Example:

https://web.archive.org/web/20011221121908/http://www.interfaculty.nl/sonicacts.com/00/index.html

So in this example, http://www.interfaculty.nl/sonicacts.com/00/index.html was archive on 2001/11/22

To navigate the website please click the blocks of the space invader gif published at https://vdoukadoukopoulou.github.io/sonic-acts-2000/

when confronted with a lot of individual paths to image files make an automate bash script to speed up the process. collect all the relevant url from the capture form info make a script.sh file

#!/bin/bash
url=('http://www.individuallink/here/picture.jpg'
'http://www.individuallink/here/picture.jpg'
'http://www.individuallink/here/picture.jpg')

for i in "${url[@]}"; do
wayback_machine_downloader $i
done

to run the bash script refer to the terminal and execute ~/path/to/folder/script.sh

normally you can't run scripts from the terminal. so you need to give your self executive powers chown 755 ~/path/to/file/script.sh

everytime you make a new script you need to also give it the power!
