    build-once run-anywhere c library

  • Awesome website! I once knew a guy who was part of the Blocktronics crew who drew ANSI art painstakingly by hand cell by cell. The amount of effort that goes into these things is something else. There's obviously no algorithm that can produce a finished artwork as beautiful as a human can who sits down and uses a paint prog like this. But... If you want a scriptable tool for the command line that turns the image files you made with photoshop into something that's copy/pastable with UNICODE block characters, then here's an Actually Portable Executable that'll let you do just that.
