How can I add a new route to display individual movie details in ASCII Flix?
To add a new route for individual movie details, you can modify the main.py
file. Here's an example of how to implement this:
python
@app.route("/movie/<int:movie_id>")
def movie_detail(movie_id):
movies = [
{"id": 1, "title": "Century Movie 1", "content": "..."},
{"id": 2, "title": "Century Movie 2", "content": "..."},
{"id": 3, "title": "Century Movie 3", "content": "..."}
]
movie = next((m for m in movies if m["id"] == movie_id), None)
if movie:
return render_template("movie_detail.html", movie=movie)
else:
return "Movie not found", 404
You'll also need to create a new movie_detail.html
template to display the individual movie details.
How can I implement a simple rating system for ASCII movies in ASCII Flix?
To implement a basic rating system, you can modify the movie_list.html
template and add some JavaScript functionality. Here's an example:
In movie_list.html
, add a rating element to each movie:
```html
{{ movie.title }}
{{ movie.content }}
```
In script.js
, add the following code:
``javascript
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
const ratings = document.querySelectorAll('.rating');
ratings.forEach(rating => {
rating.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
if (e.target.classList.contains('star')) {
const movieId = rating.dataset.movieId;
const ratingValue = e.target.dataset.rating;
// Here you would typically send this data to the server
console.log(
Movie ${movieId} rated ${ratingValue} stars`);
highlightStars(rating, ratingValue);
}
});
});
});
function highlightStars(ratingElement, value) { const stars = ratingElement.querySelectorAll('.star'); stars.forEach((star, index) => { star.classList.toggle('active', index < value); }); } ```
This implementation adds a simple client-side rating system to ASCII Flix. For a production application, you'd want to send the rating data to the server and store it in a database.

- Update the movie data in the
main.py
file:
python
movies = [
{"title": "Your Movie Title", "content": "Your ASCII art content"},
# Add more movies as needed
]
-
Modify the HTML templates (
home.html
andmovie_list.html
) to change the layout or add new elements. -
