Ascii Art -general thread

[Syf]

You ever wonder what happened to ASCII art? I may be a little nastolgic here, but back in the day when BBSs were the common place to be, (back before the Internet and actual graphics, and video, and pictures, heck color was limited to 16 colors even and dial-up was only running a mere 300-baud to 1200 baud rates).

Well, ASCII art is "pictures" made out of the characters on the keyboard... and they were pretty creative. I remember one that was a Klingon BOP, in a full 16 colors... that was cool! Then the Deathstar and so on.

Well, Forums have replaced the BBSs post boards and Messengers have replaced the chat rooms...

So do you have any ASCII art? Share it here.

Here's a sample of what I'm talking about.

My "Prime" Avatar (large for more detail)

 

[Dan1025]

Nice ones, I have a link to a gallery of them so with your permission (or Majestic's) I will post it here.

 

[Syf]

If it's a gallery only and no forum links connected to it, then it falls within the rules.

That, or copy them to here. ASCII art is text, so it's easy to post. Just put the {CODE} box around it, and it'll work just fine.

 

[Dan1025]

Here's the gallery link:

chris.com - ASCII Art Collection

Here's a link to an ascii generator, it lets you type in text and will then change it to ascii in a font of your choice:

ASCII Generator

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Thanxs Dan, I never got into ASCII art, so that link showed me a few things.

BTW, what does ASCII mean?

 

[Syf]

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

In short, ASCII is plain text, no special formatting, just text with spaces to make words on a screen... or in this case, Images.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Hey thanxs.

I'll let you guys know if I come up with one. If not, I'll just use that link Dan gave us and copy/paste my name to here.

 

[Dan1025]

Sounds like a plan, I look forward to seeing what you come up with, or at least your name in ascii

Holy sh..oot, that didn't work at all. What went wrong? All I did was copy and paste. I don't get it. What happened?
Added the {code} box to it -Syf

 

[Borg_Queen]

I don't know, perhaps you didn't put it in the {CODE} tag. Anyway, I have tried it myself now. What do you think?

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Looks beautidul BQ, just like you...but what "code tag"?

 

[Dan1025]

Yeah looks good.

 

[Borg_Queen]

Thanks both of you.

Looks beautidul BQ, just like you...but what "code tag"?

You just type [ CODE ] at the beginning, and [ /CODE ] at the end (without spaces).

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

like this, I did it right

 

[Borg_Queen]

Yepp, like that.

 

[Syf]

I fixed your post TMC.

Looks good.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Oh wow. This brings back memories. I remember doing stuff like that. I might have to try it again.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Hey, thanx Syf. I guess I forgot the code part.
