SongCode

SongCode was an animatronic programming system made by Pizza Time Theatre prior to its merging with Showbiz Pizza Place in 1984.

It was used to animate Cyberamics and later Rock-afire Explosion showtapes throughout the late 80's. The Animation Programming System (APS) would replace it in 1990, staying as the main programming software till present day.

The format is believed to be an earlier variation of what would later appear in the Studio C 3x DVD + Floppy showtape format, being a command based structure, rather than a snapshot based one.

The PTT Kooser Control System potentially used some form of SongCode, as a video briefly shows the showtape signals being printed onto a computer screen, being visibly similar to the believed SongCode format. It is unclear if this iteration would be the start of SongCode, or a different software under another name.
