Hello ASCII_ART People...
goodday!
first of all...
A happy christmas and a wonderful newyear wishes..!
and.......
welldone for all you guys and gals... expressing your great artistic talents..
now.. the reason I am here is...
there is something I have been thinking and seriously working on for sometimes..
and I think I should talk to you people about it..
animation in ascii-art !
the TextGraphics..!
there might be some people who are interested in this and
may be playing around with this stuff with great success...
so..
this is it..
the "TextGraphics"
the simple idea behind this concept is..
creating ascii-art motion pictures..
and animating them..
I am using an ADA program which does the animation..
the ASCII-ART looks cool with the animation and .. yeah
with some colors too...
I have a demo program for dos and unix platforms..
I might make it downloadable soon if anybody cares.... my stupidity.
by the way.. we call this thing as "TextGraphics"....and my group called
WHIZ_KIDS are behind this concept..
bye
:)

[snip] There have been a few ways to create Ascii animations, eg vt100, see gopher://twinbrook.cis.uab.edu:70/1A/vtanim.70 Java , see http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/java/asciitv3.htm Most common recently are Javascript animation. See : http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/9334/ (llizard) http://fmf.ml.org/~shimrod/asciiart/animation.html (shimrod) http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/6446/index.html#javahome (joan) or mine :) http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/anim/index.html But, if you have something done with ADA, I'd be glad to try that also _if possible_ (that might be the point here). How about some fancy animations to come along with it? ;) Andreas .__ ()(/ _ `._.--. ((|_. ) ) ) \_ _.-.-._ -- ((| .' / (\ \`--' _)--=' ------ . ' cMMMa. -' ._)_\ \.-.-._. . ' ''`````\ \ . _)--=' .

I done went to this guy's site, and there is nothin' on it 'bout ascii or animation. An' as for him wishin' us all a happy chris'mas --- shoot! All chris'mas does is cost me money. He is probable conspirin' to try to sell me somethin' ELSE I doan need. JRO
