New profile photo ANSI I made.
There is a great new client for Android:

Syncterm level ANSI/CP437 support, it's quite nice.

I really like that ANSI art has the same kind of "bold strokes for shape, fine strokes for decoration" going on as blackletter calligraphy... I want to see capitals decorated with all kinds of little sparkly CP437 trinkets

Hello #TextMode SysOps! I noticed a lot of new BBS this month but most have default menus! Ew!
Do you need #ANSIart graphics for your menus, games, or fileid.diz packs? I'm not asking for money but I want to support the #BBS scene and continue to see it grow; Make new #SysOp friends even!
DM ME!

Btw. you can get a program called "cp437" that will convert the CP437 style BitchX ANSI into modern Utf8. I think if you run BitchX in it, it might make the characters show up correctly. github.com/keaston/cp437 Or you can use my program Durdraw to load old ANSI files and have it convert them. :)

I am so happy I wasn't disappointed.

(also yes the gibberish is actually real x64 Linux shellcode if you convert it to CP437)

The classic Dwarf Fortress graphics are technically not ASCII, but a specific extension of the ASCII character set called CP437! It incorporates the ASCII character set, but also adds a whole bunch more.

Working on graphics with #CP437 characters! Making new #ANSIart and chopping old ones to use them in the video content I'm planning to make. Just in the beginning stages but this fall season I want to start monthly news videos with an update on the #BBS scene and other #ASCII #TextMode type news.

With my CircuitPython ANSI screen code working with the IBM PC CP437 font, it was time to tweak my code to run Rogue (1984) in CircuitPython on an HDMI display! I've got to hook up a keyboard and see if it really is running but the game is fully coded! Just the debug phase to do.
