Geek ART ;)

Geeky Art:

usually, in simple editors like notepad or a programing editor i use characters to
create underlining, table, or for a header ...

========     =--------=
HEADER         Footer
========     =--------=

Table
               Col1   |  Col2   |   Col3
           -----------+---------+---------
               value1 |  value1 |  value2
               value2 |  value2 |  value2
               value3 |  value3 |  value2
               value4 |  value4 |  value2

i usually draw smiley faces using the characters or simple stuff

   ^     ^                             
   0     0                                           
      v

umm that lookd nice in notepad

and once, i was trying a knoppix distro, there was that amazing thing done in ascii
characters..wow..really a wow..but i don't remember what was the name
I remember watching a movie (matrix stuff) and couple of others done with ascii.

some stuff are done by hand (like the above)
others are done using software, no?
so i was wondering if any geek has a crush on ascii art.. or ever tried it..
any tips for a begginer ,any suggested programs to use (links plz  )

halla2 i am not taking it seriously..i just wanna see what i can do

Re: Geek ART ;)

Interesting, it could be as hard or as easy as you want. Some people visualise things better than others

Re: Geek ART ;)

there is a tool under linux that lets you watch movies in ascii mode. I don't really remember the name of teh tool, but i think it was something like aaxine (ascii art xine). You can just open any movie file in ASCII mode, was kind of impressive. There was also another one that could let me watch TV on my TV tuner in ASCII mode.
