REQ: ascii kites
alt.ascii-art
· 10 messages · 17 Jan 1998 - 21 Jan 1998
Does anyone have, or could they create, any ascii pictures of flying
kites...I'm interested in various kite designs (deltas, box, french
military, Chinese bird/fish/insect), but the plain vanilla diamond
kite will do...
Thanks...
June ;-)

When you come to the edge
Of all light you have known,
And are about to step off into darkness,
Faith is knowing there'll be something to stand on,
Or you will be taught how to fly.

Colin Douthwaite has posted a big kite collection some time ago. Either you search Dejanews for it, or you can find parts of it in my collection at http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/jkl/kite.asc :) Andreas | .__ _ |X | - ( ) - .`-.| " .' `+_ + | .' `x .' = O .' _..--..

It was about 4:00 pm and suddenly the cloudless sky was filled with tiny square kites. They were clearly cheap things that kids got just for the purpose of fighting in the skies. We watched hundreds of kites dancing, lines crossing, and then the losing kite plunging to the ground as the winner went on to spar with another. \|/ [] -o- [] | ' [] [] /|\ [] ' ( )_ '' | [] ' [] ' ' [] /\ | | ' ' (_) " ' | ' __' ' | ||-| |-[]| \|/ ___|_'_ '_| |__'_ ' | '(_)_' __|[]| '__(_)_|| | |_~(|)~ (_)__)__|_| []|[] |_(_)_' |[]|_|_[]__|'_| __| |[]|__| | []|___ | |__| [] | |[] | | |' | | [] | | | | | |||_| [][] Thanks to KoshyGeorge for the city Excuse my longwindedness.
