Notes

It’s not the most beautiful ANSI art, but it is something that someone made for me and I’ve always been a little bummed that I can’t look at it in one of the many ANSI viewers (or DOS emulators) that exist today. Let’s fix that!

Notes

I shared this video with different BBS enthusiasts. Since I now knew how to scroll the background continuously, and I knew how to mask frames to allow transparency, I began to wonder about parallax scrolling

Notes

escapes.js is a small JavaScript library for rendering ANSI art, a form of computer art that flourished in the mid 90s. ANSI art was composed by colorizing sequences of characters and blocks drawn in the built-in system font, which made it easy to transmit across telephone wires. As a result, ANSI art was especially popular on Bulletin Board Systems (BBSes).

Notes

"The best things in life are often silly, and in this case gloriously retro. Blocktronics, a collective of the best textmode artists around the world, have released their second art pack entitled “Codename Chris Wirth” in homage to the legendary ANSI artist RaD Man. No, it’s not 1995, and yes, this kind of art is still being produced in stunning fashion. "
