#PunkySkunk got a raw deal as a video game hero on account of his game coming out at exactly the wrong time. But some folks out there still remember, and so I drew him looking rather dashing for a skunk in a jumpsuit with a pogo stick. I love how this one came out!

thx for heads up to bitwise :) #amiga #ansi #art
I love that there's still some really cool ANSI art being produced, like I remember on the very best BBSes ;)
For example https://16colo.rs/pack/impure89/impure89.ans
Does anyone take commissions for these sorts of pieces? Nothing nearly as elaborate as this but ....similar style, for a terminal application.
@shawnhooper @Janeishly @TheLancashireman I had this here as my first device to the online world.
But even had the authorization of the German Federal Post Office (at that time also called the yellow plague)

the story behind my regular mailbox (bbs), which I visited regularly at the beginning:

3 years ago, as I just had created Offpunk, I started to implement what would become ansicat : a way to render HTML (or any format) in your terminal
Besides a lot of technical learning, the biggest lesson was probably how bad people are at writing texts and abusing any format.

It's not easy to fit a pleasant vista into precisely 256 text characters, but I did it for "A Pleasant Vista", my entry into the jam-packed Text Graphics Competition at @lovebyteparty 2025!
size constrained #ansi #ansiart for the #Lovebyte 2025 online #demoparty , the comp rules were no more that 256 'pixels' which in ansi worked out at 16x16 blocks. I placed 17th out of 24, which wasn't great, but the competition was fierce :) its called 'Strawb'
FANSI had its own file format -- .FAN -- which I'm hoping to write a parser for.
I learned something new today from Eric March about the .FAN format.
The first ~6K is character data -- every character, along with its FG and BG color, for the 80 columns and 24 lines.
But the final 30K is bitmap data -- a full screen dump of the image as it is displayed in the editor.
Why?

Recently I've been working on a fork of libansilove and ansilove-c that adds support for using fonts and color palettes derived from the Atari ST programs ANSIterm and FANSI.
FANSI was a really slick ANSI editor for the ST from Eric March.
It was a godsend to me as a teen when it was released in 1994. Finally I had a way to draw my own ANSI art in the full 16 colors.
If only it had come out a few years earlier!

In 2021, I did a #furry #ZZT #cyberpunk action/puzzle game, "Cyber Purge". In 2024, I overhauled it for itch.io! Become a nonbinary hacker and rescue an immersive VR game from a fascist! Old-school shooting/puzzle-solving await!
