ANSI art thread User 09/28/17 (Thu) 07:01:12 No.47874

I guess I missed some cool shit while I was away from /cyber/. I want to make some art for some software projects. I'm torn between tying to do ANSI/ASCI and going for a minimalist black&white like http://flask.pocoo.org/ . I can imagine which one /cyber/ likes more, but I have no idea where to start with ansi art.

Are there tools for it? How do I make something with so few "pixels"? What's the deal with the colors?

The problem with ANSI in present day, present time is that you really need to go out of your way to display it, because it's not well supported by modern software (unlike in MS-DOS days, where it was default), so, I'd stick with ASCII (with colors, optionally) if I were in your place. Or… is there such a thing as UTF-8 art?

Be a l33t h4x0r and write your own drawing tool. It's easier than even making a proper text editor. All you need to begin with is a rectangle character grid and a moving cursor.

The standard for ANSI art is a tool called PabloDraw. There are still very small but thriving ANSI art communities out there on the web, if you are patient enough when looking for them.
