Join us to celebrate the (almost) lost art of ANSI Art! We will be hosting collaborative servers that will show everyone drawing on the same canvas in real time and project in large format for people to watch.
What is ANSI Art
ANSI Art is text mode art created by using block style font characters like ░▒▓█▓▒░ from the IBM VGA CP437 font set that was standard in the DOS era of computing in the 90s. Using only the 16 colors available in DOS text mode with block characters and other glyphs and a lot of creativity, this format was used to create the wonderful art of the BBS era.
