Ascii art

[oskarwiksten]

Anyone else remember the old days of ascii art? I used to be active in the Amiga scene here in Stocholm, where ascii art was the thing. It's not every day that you see one of these.

Wow nice job!

[nyktos]

hahaha!



This brings back memories...

Ah yes, ASCII art.... good stuff

My favorite is probably still the Jabberwocky one.

If you're having trouble figuring out what is going on in that picture just look at the original on the wiki page on Jabberwockies

Tek, don't look at the lines, look at the spaces inside the lines. Try holding the phone at arm's length and looking "through" the screen rather than at it.
See it now?

Fiernaq, the wiki page link took me to a Wikipedia article about the poem, and the Jabberwocky link just gave me a page with phrases of the poem in a black band across the top, and a never-stopping circling of unfinished page loading, with an overloaded CPU icon in my status bar. Neither was helpful to deciphering Oscar's art. Were they supposed to take me somewhere else?

That's really cool, the jabberwocky is my favorite Luis Carrol creation.

Lady Black, I don't know if it will work on an android phone; I always use a PC to browse the forums/interwebz.

Here, I'll just link you directly to the image and a screenshot of the ASCII bit:
