[][ hi ...

i have put together a little web-page that puts a mini-javascript
wrapper around ascii-animation pics for use on Mozilla/3.0 browsers
and up

i made it last year originally to perform array formatting and
char escaping and have been using it to do so ever since

it is very simple and useful to me and i decided others may also
find it of use

i then had the idea to add a javascript wrapper and a preview function

it originally worked ok on both win9x and linux but i've revised
and twiddled it and haven't checked it lately
it is not finished yet and seems to have difficulty on macOS
so your mileage may vary

you may find it helpful

BTW most if not all the ascii-anims you see are usually handmade

these are the stats. from my original draft-version:-
