Very good looking, I like this ... if you zoom out too far it flips the image "ndsıpǝ poʍu"

There is Doom The Roguelike, but it's going in the wrong direction. They recently added graphics.

Nice find, I haven't seen much of the color text stuff like this.


I played with this stuff for a while... I belive the whole thing is done through aalib if I'm not mistaken (ascii art library)


You can run movie players in linux (if compiled for support) and watch things...but it gets old after a few minutes. I never had it working in color, but that might be a newer extension on the aalib I played with.


I found some youtube links, if anyone is interested:

nice find, but this one suck, it only use full block character like if it was pixel... good ascci art use different character to achieve much higher resolution than 1 "pixel" for each character...
