Next to speedcubing is another hobby of me: making ASCII art.
What is ASCII art?
ASCII art is a picture made entirely out of regular text characters (not limited to letters like ABC, but also +/@#! etc.)
How can I create ASCII art?
Fire up your favourite text editor (which in my case is Notepad), set up the font you want to create your ASCII art with and go ahead!
NOTE: While your ASCII picture may look nice in Verdana for example, it may be a complete mess in Arial or Times New Roman etc. It is important to choose where you want to post your ASCII art (for example, if you want to post it on this forum, you should create your art in the 'Verdana' font sized 10) and configure the font settings accordingly.
I don't see anything but a mess of letters. Is this what you call ASCII art?
Some ASCII art pictures are quite large, and can't be seen (properly) if you are too close to your computer screen. Step away from your computer screen until you can see the picture.
