Funny rememberings (ASCII Art)

[DonManfred]

Back into the 1990s i remember we did some playings with Ascii-Art), I was Online at this time in a BBS. And Holger, the Author of the one i present here, too.

The Animation is based on a Textfile: Please find it attached Muhwie49.zip

I have a php Script which does create a GIF out of the Textfile(s).
Here is the gif based on the Attached textfile

Have fun watching it!

You can find more when using the online-resource of the old Ascii Art Snippets. This is the php-Script which converts the textfile into a GIF.

Note that there may be ones which does not work.

ASCII Art was always cool since back in the day, one classic example is Star Wars, which incidentally this ASCII version is a million times better than the crap Star Wars is now.

May the Force be with you

Well done DonManfred, good memories.

We used to print ASCII pics on old printers with endless paper

As long as the lab monitor (usually a grad assistant that drew the short straw) didn't catch us … and end up banning you for 2 weeks from print privileges.

That animated ascii in the first post looks amazingly like something I made on my C64 for a Walmart presentation back in highschool.

Yup, we did the same, nothing cooler like a "ASCII nice lady" you know what I mean.

ok, you spoiled my day. now I will be hearing that terrible 9 pin printing noise in my head all day.
and ultrafast aswell at 5+ seconds for 1 line of text. these days you print an entire book at the speed we printed 1 page back then

Back to 1978 in Boston we used to print images this way on a huge and noisy continuous line printer, it was very hard because we had to punch hundreds of cards and feed them to a card reader then to printer. Thanks for the memories.
