I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border, I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

These comment boxes are not ASCII art friendly. So just go to the link.

How does this link to this blog? (Now I gotta think of how to link it all together... I failed to plan up to this far)

I haven't had any online run ins with these people you name, but they sound like assholes. Hope the video simmers the sift down.

The excel file is only 3.8MB.

It's actually pretty slick, first it extract RIFF to mp3


If Trim(AudioFile) = "" Then AudioFile = ThisWorkbook.Path & _
"\ACDC.wav"
Call PlayBackLoop


By the way, if you download the spreadsheet, unhide Column Q and
go down to Row 99 you can see the 540 ascii frames
(120 characters by 35 characters)

Bah, use mplayer with its ASCII plugin.

Bringing back the old school ascii art in the thread. I'm feeling nostalgic.

So beautiful...

Well, that is -very- neat. Great idea for a tattoo. I think I'll go stare at some fractals for a while now!

Yeah, fullerenedream was thinking of getting a tattoo of a Mandelbrot Set a while back.

Is.. Is that an ASCII Mandlebrot set?

Ive done some work in Direct X and rendering to screen. Every time something happens the buffers have to update. That's a huge world ...that needs to update for every user.

That's why world of war craft has that cartoon texture. And Even then it may or may not work well. In all that I have played or researched, for college papers on the industry, rendering is done on the client sides with the information for the world stored in database files. To do this on the server side is going to require a massive connection and a huge bank of hardware. That is why it is so easy to hack client to server applications including games, Gary Hoglund goes into detail about this his books exploiting online gaming.

I find it hard to believe that they can do this with no latency on a horrible internet commercial. This seems alot like the lochness monster, or that Iraq had WMDs.

Even in Unreal all the meshes and textures were stored as ASCII files that held location points about the objects, and the rest was rendered on the users computer, and the goal was to make all objects as low poly as possible. Because once the lighting and geometry is added it will start to slow things down. That's why they came up with new ways to map textures so that they wrap around the geometry like bubble wrap seen in Gears of War.

In short(not short): it is not best practices to render from the server, the server is just there to facilitate communications. That is what a client server system does. The clients talk to each other through the server, with the simplest of messages.

I ♣ cats


I rape cats. Sorry, there wasn't a cute ASCII character for rape.

Whenever I try to load "Kick Your Fucking Ass",0,1 I always get my ASCII kicked.

^ oh crap, is ASCII art back in style?
