Search Artlav's ASCII art client

[Linguofreak]

I know that Artlav has posted screenshots of an ASCII-art client for Orbiter, but I'm not sure if he ever released it or if he was just playing around with code on his own machine. Is there a link to it anywhere, or, failing that, could it be released?

I believe it is a part of OGLA

 

[Linguofreak]

Is there a command line switch or GUI tick box that needs to be used?

rendering orbiter in asci-art?? That's gotta be really funky!

I'm pretty sure I have seen a picture somewhere of a Deltaglider virtual cockpit view completely rendered in ASCII.

reminds me of the time of Falcon 2.0 etc

 

[Artlav]

That one?

Just something i played with, in OGLA.
Don't think i ever released that, as it is basically useless and unplayable.
It's also not a true ASCII rendering, just a regular OpenGL rendering with a post-effect luminance-to-char filter strapped onto it.

Another useless experiment of that kind is abSIRD 3D rendering, same post-effect-style, only on Z-buffer:

You didn't release the ASCII filter? Omg that has to be the best work of art I've seen :3 Seriously, it's beautiful.

Try putting the "art" on deviantart, I think you could start a new trend here. Everyone would think you hand-coded it

This is so far beyond awesome that Artlav and OP deserve a thanks.
A true ASCII client would be very cool actually. And quite usefull on low spec systems.

Release it! Release it! :lol:

 

[Artlav]

Release it! Release it! :lol:

Huh?

Or maybe people with nostalgia for 'the good old days.'

Or maybe people who play too much Dwarf Fortress and can't see things that aren't presented as large friendly characters.

But then some of us are certain to have nightmares of seeing white capital 'C's skittering around in deep space... :shifty:

Don't worry Izack, it won't happen again, that one was wrong in the head.
