ASCII art is what it was called.
Edit: As aptly mentioned ANSI art is the right word. This was the colorful BBS days as opposed to FXP courier days they were covering.
- dfsegoat 6y agoI always thought it was ASCII art, but apparently there are diffs: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_art - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art
- mr-wendel 6y agoNot only differences in character sets, but particularly in the communities. Thats what makes the documentary so compelling! I highly recommend browsing through some ANSI art archives (some of which is very recent too). Two favorites of mine: - https://16colo.rs/ https://16colo.rs/ - https://artpacks.org/ https://artpacks.org/
- doublerabbit 6y agoAnother cool site: https://wab.com https://wab.com

- fl0wenol 6y agohttps://ice.org https://ice.org for ansi packs and other old skool art packs.
- apetresc 6y agoANSI art and ASCII art are two distinct things. This is definitely referring to ANSI art.
- api 6y agoThis thread makes me feel old in a good way. Who remembers TheDraw?
- dleslie 6y agoPabloDraw is a modern alternative worth checking out.
- loloquwowndueo 6y agoI DO!! An artist friend was a wizard with that thing, awesome watching him work. I could never produce anything beyond shapeless confetti.
- pridkett 6y agoI wasted so much time trying to make non-terrible animated ANSI art with TheDraw. I remember the first time I realized I could run it in 80x43 mode instead of 80x25 mode and my mind was completely blown. I also remember what a pain it was if you wanted to change color schemes. Especially on an animated piece. I had a BBS animated main screen that originally was red and yellow and at some point I decided bright blue and green would be more “3733+” and I needed to step through it character by character.
- core-questions 6y agoI used to use ACiD Draw for this kind of thing. The blinking parts were my favourite, you could almost make crude animation with it.
- marshal_law 6y agoI do. Brings back some memories - as someone whose handle appeared in the video a few times. :)
- glonq 6y agoAnd don't forget ATASCII art/animation?
