Bad Apple on 4 micro:bits

Requires Bun and FFmpeg.

To install dependencies:

bun install

To get the video file badapple-orig.mp4 (requires yt-dlp, or you can download the file from another source):

yt-dlp -f mp4 -o "badapple-orig.mp4" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtutLA63Cp8

To run:

bash ./ffmpeg-scripts.bash

In MakeCode, create a JavaScript project for each quadrant and paste the corresponding code from the output/ directory into the editor. You have to press the A button on all 4 micro:bits at the same time for the video to be synchronised.

You may wish to edit the ffmpeg-scripts.bash file. On line 4, you can change the time in seconds from 45 to another number.

I was inspired by other people playing Bad Apple on different devices. People have played Bad Apple on the micro:bit before, and I learned many things from the article linked such as using Base 36 encoding, but this uses 4 micro:bits together to achieve a better picture quality.
