Re: ascii art game! was: (Re: my first post feedback me please)

I program mostly in bash which is a scrip language found on all linux
systems.
It is not suited for that kind of work.
it would best be done in something like perl or c

as far as the algorithms go most any ascii-art faq will have a list of
usable charicters and you can use one of those lists to start from.

this is a sample script i only put about 8 minutes in but any bash
user should be able to make out what the idea is.

for char in $(cat $buffer | sed 's/\([[:print:]]\)/\
\1/g') ; do
   if [ ! $(echo $char | egrep [[:print:]] ) ] ; then 
      echo "You have a invalid ascii char in your drawing"
      echo "Try it again" ; sleep 1
      load_current_buffer
   fi
done

echo "You got it right" 
go_to_next_level_of_game ; exit 0

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
