(For the skydiving impaired, CRW is canopy relative work. Skydivers open their parachutes immediately after jumping from the plane and make formations by flying parallel and grabbing each others' suspension lines and fabric.) > In a post on alt.ascii-art, BamBam wrote: > > Here's one that used to be my .sig, fwiw: > > 000 >.o0OOO0o. > \ / > \ / > |\O/| > '~H~' > E > LL > /~~~~\ > "Aha," says I. I'd been thinking about how to make a tiny ASCII CRW jumper. This isn't quite what I want, but I sure like the upper curvature of that canopy. It's *close*. Let's see, how about .... .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ X Not too bad for your basic ram-air canopy viewed from the front. It gets the basic silhouette right. Though I think I had better change the body a bit, or the diamonds will look pretty funny later on. How about .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ H Pretty much as good, and looks better in a group. This leads to the obvious 3-stack .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ H .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ H .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ H I like it! 2-planes look OK, .o0OOO0o. \ / .o0OOO0o. \ \o/ / \ H / \o/ H .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ "Incoming!" H ...though the 3-planes are getting a little crowded and confused. .o0OOO0o. \ / .o0OOO0o. \ \o/ / .o0OHO0o. \ \o/ / \ H / \o/ H Diamonds? We got diamonds all right! .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ .o0OOO0oHo0OOO0o. \ / \ / \ / \ / \o/ \o/ Ho0OOO0oH \ / \ / \o/ H Stairsteps.... .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ Ho0OOO0o. \ / \ / "Get Heavy!" \o/ Ho0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ Ho0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ H My first CRW big-ish way.... .o0OOO0o. \ / \ / \o/ .o0OOO0oHo0OOO0o. \ / \ / \ / \ / \o/ \o/ .o0OOO0oHo0OOO0oHo0OOO0o. \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \o/ \o/ \o/ Ho0OOO0oHo0OOO0oH \ / \ / \ / \ / \o/ \o/ Ho0OOO0oH \ / \ / \o/ <-- Me, a few weeks ago!

I must admit to being pretty pleased. This is plenty good enough to illustrate most standard stack and offset formations, but of course I'd love to see it made even better. (Side-by-Sides, anyone?) Anyone want to tackle ASCII RW? Somehow I don't think ASCII FS is really in the cards. Blue skies, big diamonds!
