They are asking for an example of what your app does. Very few people here are ever going to run up your app.

Vitaly OP , 8 months ago

I uploaded some examples to my github

Vitaly OP , 8 months ago

Thanks for the explanation

This is ANSI art, not ASCII art, right? ASCII doesn't define colors and stuff for example.

Vitaly OP , 8 months ago

I mean it’s technically symbols, the program can also use only symbols like .:-=+*#%@

Congrats. That must have been an interesting project.

Did you know about Libcaca?

It’s even in VLC I think so you could even watch movies in ASCII if you wanted to :)

I know I saw that when I mistakenly streamed a movie through ssh.

It’s a good programming practice, and fun as well)
