My gosh, I've seen ascii animation before but thats a lot more than I've ever seen....

Whoever made those has too much time...

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

OMG!!! Check out that matrix one...

Whoa...that's a slow site and those are some BIG html files.

It's probably all done by a program. e.g. the source is resized to a much lower res, and converted to gray-scale. Then monospace characters replace the grayscale pixels with the black level of each pixel corresponding to a character with a certain arrangement/density of black pixels (as opposed to white space). i.e. a white pixel would have no character, a medium-dark pixel would have maybe ^, and a dark pixel would have &.

There's an image->ascii conversion algorithm out there...guy used that to convert.

 

[bernse]

Cool. Thanks for the link!

There are also avi/mpeg2ascii converters.

Is there a practical use for an avi/mpeg 2 ascii converter? besides the artistic effect

Star wars (1977 one) In Ascii, not converted..doesn't look as good though

Seen that one before, now that would've taken some serious time to do!

 

[Apathetic]

Wow, I'm seriously impressed.
