REQ: titlescreen for a dos game[80x50]
alt.ascii-art
· 14 messages · 16 Nov 2000 - 20 Nov 2000
at the moment i'm writing some dos-rpg, and i need some different title
screens. the title of the game is DOWN and you can either do some tag
or a picture of some dungeon-like stuff. but remember, it has to be
dos-ascii, so you may have to post txt or ans files directly to me.
here's an expample what a friend has already done for me:
[its a bit abstract, but if you look at it some minutes, you may
recognize the tag]

I think the ascii we do here is a sub-set of the "dos-ascii" you do. This means that you should be able to copy straight from here to your program, but not necessarily the other way around. :) > here's an expample what a friend has already done for me: > [its a bit abstract, but if you look at it some minutes, you may > recognize the tag] I take it the line-object in the middle is meant to say "DOWN"? No, I don't think I can see that (but I suspect I'm not *meant* to be able to see it, so I guess it's OK). :) Of course, I have to add something... 8-) [assuming the size must be exactly like the example] _______________________________________________________________________ [][_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_][_][][_][_][_][_][_][_][][_][_][_][_][_][] [_][_][_][_][_] [_][_][_][_][_] [][_][_][_] [_][_][_][] [_][_][_] [_][_][_] [][_][] [][_][] [_][_] [_][_] [][_] [_][] [_][] [][_] [][_] [_][] [_][] [][_] [][_] _ _ _ _ _ __ _ __ _ [_][] [_][] [_][_] [_][_] [_] [__] [_] [__] [_] [][_] [][_] [_] [_] [_] [_] [_][_][_][_] [_][_][_] [_][] [_][] [_][_] [_][_] [_] [_] [_] [__] [][_] [][_]_____________________________________________________________[_][] (with some room for text in the middle) -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'

80x50? surely, if you're planning to use dos text it's 80x25? element wrote: > at the moment i'm writing some dos-rpg, and i need some different title > screens. the title of the game is DOWN and you can either do some tag > or a picture of some dungeon-like stuff. but remember, it has to be > dos-ascii, so you may have to post txt or ans files directly to me. > > here's an expample what a friend has already done for me: > [its a bit abstract, but if you look at it some minutes, you may > recognize the tag] > > _______________________________________________________________________ > .. .... __/\__ > : ... .. \ oo / ....... > : :: /_ _\ .... ... ..: :: > _______. : :. \/ : ._________. > \ | :...:: ._____ : | > -/--------\ | ____________ | \ _| > / _____\\ | _________. \ /_ : \________\ > -/----------:- |________\ |---\ /_| : eD! . > . |__. _ _________ ______. \ \--------------|- .: > :........ /_______________\ -:---------\ ... .......:: > :: . .....: : ...: > ::... .. . :....: > > [+] d - o - w - n [+] > _______________________________________________________________________ > > cu&thx

Seeing that oldskool stuff really makes me nostalgic.. :-) I'll have to look for all the ansi-collections I saved on my Amiga's HD.. Will someone please point me to a Windows .fon-editing program?-) I want real Windows BITMAP versions of Topaz and especially Pot-Noodle, the #1 ansi viewing font for the Amiga.. Or even the specs, I may be able to cook up a .font to .fon-converter. :-)
