ASCII Anims in javascript

ASCII Anims in javascript

alt.ascii-art.animation · 2 messages · 24 May 1998 - 26 May 1998
I am in eed of some assistance with this.

I recently was directed to a file which converted ascii anims into
javascript to display in a web page.

Ok, it works fine but it tends to have a flicker about it which i don't
like and I was wondering if tehre's another converter program tat doesnt
have that problem orknows how to rectify the problem without having to
reconvert.

Also I am wishing to change the font used in the anim to fixedsys, but
am unsure how to do tat. I tried the normal html code of font style but
it had no effect on the javascript part.

Once I clear these things up i'll be able to direct people to the
whereabouts.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

As far as I know, you can't change the font in the Javascript window. As
to the flickers, did you use a lot of \ \ (backslashes) in your drawing?
And did you make sure that all of the \ \ (backslashes) were preceded by
an extra \ (backslash) for each one? Sometimes if one or two have been
missed, that will make the animation jump around.

But any Javascripting questions you have can most likely be answered in
The Omega's forum at:

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
