I *think* this is what you wanted to post. You used a few nonstandard
characters. I replaced them with standard ones. You also left a lot of
spaces at the ends of your lines. (That's what caused the extraneous
spaces) Keep your lines less than 72 characters long.

           d888b                                  \o/
           88  '8,                     88          @

I don't know if it's just me, but I see this with split lines, spaces every
other line. You should tighten that up.

QEdit or TheDraw are pretty good editors for DOS, Notepad is good in Windows
(unless adding spaces annoys you like it does me). QEdit and TheDraw will work
in Windows too.

For a first attempt, you got the right idea, that's good.

A football (soccer, not any of that american rubbish) designed in a variable
width font. *please* post using fixed width fonts (e.g. Courier New, FixedSys,
Lucidia Console) - you should also find what we are doing looks better too.

Fixed Width Football Goal:

 #==========================stm#,
 #\---\---\---\---\---\---\---\#.\
 # \   \   \   \   \   \   \   #  \
 #' \---\---\---\---\---\---\--#\' \
 # .'\   \   \   \   \   \   \ # \.'\
 #'  .\---\---\---\---\---\---\#.'\--\
 # .'  \___\___\___\___\___\___#___\__\
 #'  .'                        #.'  .'
 # .'                          #  .'
 #'                            #.'

Just realised had I done the perspective the other way, my sloping # would look
brilliant for the back netting... Oh well, c'est la vie.

Any diddles? Perhaps a goalkeeper or someone scoring? For preference, England
beating Germany at penalties ;-)

I think you left the word 'goal' out.

That's only one side though.

   # '.                          #  '.

Trouble with that idea is # isn't sloping in all fonts. (Such as for
me, right now.)

Still think mine looks better. Its quick, precise and straight to the point.

I'm sorry.  I am a true lurker of the great art you guys and gals do here.

But this time, i have to say: Les, stop it.  Stop stop stop.  Looks better???
you are a master of sarcasm...
Yours is ASCII.
Theirs is ART.

Don't make me post again =Þ

cheers - but what do you mean about only one side? If you mean the goal for only
one team, I don't know how you play soccer in the US but here in Britain it's
traditional for both goals to be upright. And I can't imagine a camera lens
extreem enough to get both goals in the picture and all the field from above. Or
am I missing something obvious?

Probably becuase you are looking at it with the wrong font. Take some of this
stuff, copy and paste into Notepad, or change your viewing font to a fixed width
one. Otherwise the art does not work.

EG the above - to me the three #s at the bottom only reach the down pole in the
middle, so you end up with it looking like I'd imagine this will look in your
variable width font:
    |         |
    |         |
    ###
         |
         |

With variable width, the width of each character can be different on each
computer. This means that what lines up for you won't for others, where e.g.
each space is wider of their is take up less room. However, with fixed width
every character will take the same width so that when you have characters in a
column, everyone else will too and so your image should work.

I can't claim to be a decent ascii artist, I'm just starting, but some of the
people on here can - take a look at some of their websites.

I was looking at it as if it were a birds eye view, looking down
at the field. Now that you mention this, I can see how it could
also be a front on view.

Now it looks more like a top down view; it was originally front on though.

I'm afraid it's completely unintelligible. Perhaps you're using a non-ASCII
character set?

Unless you're interpreting a John Cage piece as visual art, in which case I
apologise for my lack of vision. *grin*

My first ascii art, still in progress, but I thought someone might like 
it. When I was a kid, I'd create elaborate doodles on paper, starting 
from the center out, utilizing all sorts of shapes. This is the same 
idea, but in ascii.

It looked fine to me -- Well Done!

Check to be sure you are reading the post in a fixed-pitch font.

You were exactly right. I just needed to view it correctly. And thank you
