    [​IMG] tones of ascii graphics

    these are quite popular in japan recently...i've no idea why there are so many cats, but they are well made
    you have to use 1024 resolution or the graphic would be "displaced"
    just in case your computer does not show up those japanese characters, left frame is the index, right frame shows the graphics

    I don't know if it's a hoax or not, but I saw what is, if functional, the weirdest creation of all time. This guy who goes by the name of Bob Zimbinski, created a linux version of his favourite game. Quake. How does it run in linux? All the graphics are Ascii. Observe. At first it's gibberish, but then you notice that it's a hallway:

    The beginning of a Textmode Quake game

    Apparently there's a version of Ascii Unreal Tournament, too, though it IS gibberish to me.
