Why I the web.
Someone created an #ASCII game built in rust in loving memory of the 1984 DOS game BEAST. Even a "global highscore is synced with an online server" ability.

@i0null @cR0w copy / paste the #shruggie #ASCII #emoticon in the #AltText for the attached image^ into your keyboard text replacements & assign your preferred shortcut, voilà!

Nah Bitch, now you're on *My Family's Turf*.
I asked Google for an #ASCII ART generator (because this isn't my machine, I have two bookmarked) so and "AI" was all up in my space "Let Meeee do your ASCII Art!!!
Fucker, I'mma go find some site that looks like it's from 1998, probably using #Apache and #CGI to rattle less than a hundred lines of stale, crufty, #PERL code, if ... *IF* someone didn't #monster_bash it out.
Logging into my #NextCloud to get my fucking #bookmarks because fuck this.
Oh my ascii god... @goto80 has done it again. Look at this marvelous demo released @ #revision2025 yesterday!
The entire ANSI compo at @revisionparty can now be watched here:
I have been learning how to code in Python by creating a very fun little ASCII based text game and I have honestly not had that much fun with a video game since I was like 10 years old.
Bon, naturellement, j'ai beaucoup tenté de mettre en avant notre propre jeu, Oremus.
Mais jetez donc un œil à cet autre jeu du concours de fiction interactive 2025 : Le Comte et La Communiste. Réalisation impeccable, interface originale en ASCII, mécaniques d'infiltration et d'espionnage...
I love looking at people's website source code, especially when I stumble across cool things like this:

Custom font in the making once again. I thought I'll post this and regret later as the font will likely be totally different.
What sets apart the Cascii web-based ASCII diagram editor from similar tools is it manipulates whole shapes, not just individual characters, and can save them for further modification. Plus it's shokingly easy to self-host and run locally.
I think I found an easter egg in neovim just by chance, I typed ":smile" as a command and it gave me an ASCII art as the output.
Video below shows the output, I had to record the output because if I took only a screenshot more then half of the output would had been cut off. I know a screen cast is a bit too much just to show an ASCII art, but this is the only way that I can show the whole output.
@shawnhooper @Janeishly @TheLancashireman I had this here as my first device to the online world.
But even had the authorization of the German Federal Post Office (at that time also called the yellow plague)
