I'm thinking about abandoning my app Calligraphy, which can turn text into ASCII banners in different ASCII fonts. I feel like the app doesn't really provide any practical value, and the codebase has gotten quite complicated nonetheless.
Poll 1/2: Do you use Calligraphy at all?
Please answer honestly so I can tell if the project is worth my time.
Wow. Durdraw was written about in Linux Magazine's April 2024 issue! Thanks to Andy Herbert for taking this photo, and to @degville for writing the article! #ansiart#durdraw#asciiart#linux
Talking about #retrocomputing things... Here a program I wrote on September 2015 with my first computer. That Commodore Vic-20 is now 40 years old, has 3.5 Kb of RAM and last time I tried it was still working :-) #creativeCoding#tumblr#petscii#basic#asciiart#8bit
Passively participating in #Genuary2024 — Day 9 ASCII. In summer 2022 I released ASCII-SCAPE, a textmode remix of my earlier C-SCAPE co-evolving multi-cellular automata simulation piece. Technially, it should been called UTF-SCAPE, but hey (some variations actually are strictly ASCII only).
The piece uses 1200+ handpicked rule combinations (based on custom rules & neighborhood configurations I generated/searched/collected/curated with my own tools over the past 20+ years), 32 character sets, 40 color themes, all creating literally billions of possible combinations... The piece also allows recording & exporting chunks of the simulation as plain text files (just press X to start/end recording)
