Eh but nowadays, most of the ASCII art is just copypasted :P

what are you talking about, GOG users are reliable, trustworthy and would NEVER copy/paste :-P

let's just see what we get. maybe if people did their username is ASCII, then it would be unique i guess.

Here:

Such skill! :P

Ah, btw I recall there were also img-to-ASCII programs.

I didn't make that. :P

I did some ANSI art in my misspent youth. Does that count?

that's a jpeg. you know it doesn't count. :-P

anything done with letters/characters and numbers. no images

As it's quite hot in here all you need is cold c(%) ; )
and that's the one I like very much, not mine though.

The biggest problem with posting ascii art on forums is that it requires the forum to support standard spacing. GOG forum does not from what I recall, so multi line ones are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to pull off.
Best ascii art I've seen can be found here, or by doing a "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl"

Wow, that's really good. got my missus to a tee :o)

Not the first attempt at having one of these threads.

As JMich said, these forums are not the best place for ASCII.

stop whining and post art already. :-P

fill the spaces with something else i'm not expecting miracles. also there's no need for external linking or images :-)

Sorry, I can't find a converter from ANSI to PNG for Windows that doesn't require me to either build the code myself (in some obscure language), or manually install odd runtime libraries in order for the damn thing to run.

I like mplayer -vo aa <arbitrary video file>, even if that is cheating a bit.
