Wait a minute…
What if you converted every three digits of Pi to a 10-bit number, concatenated them and interpreted them as #ascii (or something like #base64
That means that Pi is hiding the U.S.' nuclear launch codes. The truth behind the JFK assassination, the cure to cancer…
GUYS... we were learning #Borges' #LibraryOfBabylon in middle school as #Pi! It was all hiding under our noses all along!
Loving this Garden theme. the #ASCII#visualizer is very fun to play with. Different characters have a very different aesthetic.
I like this old #Macintosh Chicago #font. The colours and #typeface really change up the vibe. I'm pretty happy with where this is heading. I really wanna play a good projector show with this.
They are old-school and not readable, or would they make things easier to understand?
I can not judge as the ASCII is the natural environment for me. I have played the Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm DDA without tilesets for way too long ;)
I'm also a fan of Dwarf Fortress, but have never heard of Cataclysm until I saw your post. Just spent the better part of the hour playing it, thanks for mentioning it!
Please do not use the #ASCII grave accent (0x60) as a left quotation mark together with the ASCII apostrophe (0x27) as the corresponding right quotation mark (as in `quote'). Your text will otherwise appear rather strange with most modern fonts (e.g., on #Windows and Mac systems). Only old X Window System fonts and some old video terminals show ASCII 0x60/0x27 as left and right quotation marks, while most modern systems follow the ISO and Unicode standards instead. If you can use only ASCII’s typewriter characters, then use the apostrophe character (0x27) as both the left and right quotation mark (as in 'quote'). If you can use #Unicode characters, nice directional quotation marks are available in the form of characters U+2018, U+2019, U+201C, and U+201D (as in ‘quote’ or “quote”).
If you work in an environment where the UTF-8 encoding is already used everywhere (e.g., Plan9 and most modern GNU/Linux installations), you could even decide to use proper directional quotation marks, as in ‘quote’ or “quote”.
Check your source code directories with
grep *`
to find out, where modifications are necessary. Then use (with proper care!) something like
perl -pi.bak -e "s//'/g;" file1 file2 ...`
to make the necessary substitutions automatically, or make the edits manually instead.
The use of 0x60 (grave accent) as a special control character in the Unix shell (to denote command substitution as in command or better $(command)), in #Perl, in #Lisp, or in #TeX/troff (to denote a proper left single quotation mark) does not have to be changed and remains unaffected https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html
When the ASCII character means different things in different games and it gets confusing (example: the = symbol is a building in Larn, and means a ring in Pocket Rogue).
