# FSN settings to recreate scene where they lock the door with an SGI computer in Jurassic Park

In the movie, Jurassic Park, there is a scene where they must electronically lock a door using an SGI computer running Irix, using a file browser called [FSN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSN)

Here's the scene:

And here's a recreation from my own O2:

## Setting up the directory and file structure

From a shell, run `ksh generate_fsn_jurassic_park_file_structure.sh`.

## Customizing FSN to have similar colors and settings to the movie

The [.Xdefaults](.Xdefaults) settings file can be loaded into `fsn`.

Be aware that colors are repeated multiple times in this file (I think it saves a new copy of everything when you save from the `fsn` settings page).

I also think that the monitor I have hooked up is distorting the colors significantly.

The RGB settings don't match up with what I get when color picking still frames from the film. When I exported a movie made with `mediarecorder`, it looked nothing like it did on-screen.

## Disk usage

To get the folders to appear a certain height, the files generated can be quite large.

This takes up about 867 Megabytes on-disk, but can be deleted and re-created quickly and easily.

## Contributing

Contributions are welcome. I'd like for this to eventually be portable on systems without `bash` in the future.
