#238094 - 18/10/2004 17:10 Completely useless... ASCII Art converter with color
tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	A completely useless but fun ASCII Art Converter. Unfortunately, it uses "color=" instead of "color:", so a quick search-and-replace is required before it works on this particular BBS. 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 _________________________ Tony Fabris

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	It can do either. I chose to use all the same character and only vary the colors. You could also do just characters, or both characters and colors. _________________________ Tony Fabris

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	Nah, it seems to just be using said characters randomly. It ought to be using them based on the amount pixels they produce as well as the location of said pixels. Old-school B&W-only ones do that properly. Actually, it does it that way when you select "ASCII" mode, but not when you select colored mode. Weird. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

No, it's not random, it works the way you expect. Here is the same picture as ASCII characters only. Not as cool looking, but here it is...

Edit: Oh I see what you're saying. When you combine color and ASCII, it's not doing the same thing as it did when it was just ASCII. Hm.

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	Thinking about it, I understand conceptually why they do it that way. When in colorized mode, each character is merely a pixel, and the character color governs the value. When in ASCII mode, each character is a brightness value. There's no way to combine both without deliberately throwing away the usefulness of assigning each pixel a color. _________________________ Tony Fabris
