I am about to code my first attempt at a program that will convert scanned pictures (any picture for that fact) to ascii art (both shaded art and an attempt at 'intelligent' pattern matching) Sorry to disappoint but I'm an Apple IIGS user (but that won't stop me sending out some art!) Here's the plan : I am asking for suggestions as to what to name it (although any suggestions about what the program could do would be nice...) Relevant details : Computer : Apple IIGS (will run on any Apple II series (*) ) Language : BASIC (please don't groan...) Picture Format : SHR (Super High Res) Name format : Uper/lowercase alpha numeric but NO spaces Sugestions : Anything! Something witty, a play on words, a mixture of words anything! (*) As it will be written in basic (at least the prototype) it will be easily converted to any computer by those with a reasonable knowledge about graphic handling on their machine... I can't offer any real 'prize' apart from a thankyou (personal and one on the relevant newsgroup) and perhaps some art if things go well... Any ideas, questions or suggestions warmly welcomed.... /----------------------------------------------------------\ | | | Antony N.
