That is nice and I guess I will need that too, but a little later. What I am searching for now is a not-so-simple editor. Something beyond notepad, something that would allow me to 'draw' and easily move one frame forward/backward and hopefully even to view a preview. ~ Urban > > Is there any good program for creation of ascii animation? > > Celia has a program called "Analia" that I gather works at > http://members.xoom.com/albertopsq/ > > I have made a template (no program though) for javascript > ascii-animations (version3 and up) > http://www.crosswinds.net/~llizard/animlesson.htm >

To move each frame up and down,just resize the text editors' window to the size of the frame you are using.... lets say you got a framelike so: ,-------. | | | | | | `-------' just scrunch up the editor's window to fit the frame, and you can use [page up] and [page down] to scroll the animation....If you dontlike the timming then you can change your keyboards autorepeat delay a little.... -- |"""""<`.THE PRINCE ,'>"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""| | `.`/""""""\,',' my sig is too big, | |SEE HIS ( / \ \' SEE HIS but its really cool. | | FACE \/<> <>\/ SMILE | | / W \ Visit my ascii art site: | | ,'\_|||||_/`. http://www.gtcom.net/~krogg/ascii/ | | ,',' ||| `.`. kro...@gtcom.net | |____<,' TIME TO DIE `.>____Remove no.to.spam to reply____|
