    Those figures made with letters

    Hi all... I wonder if any of you know how to design figures with keyboard characters. I explain. I remember years ago when I was addicted to MIRC... some people use to send figures, like roses, little bears, and other stuff, they came altogether 5 to 10 lines... It's not that I want to do something like that, but I was just wondering how they did it... of course one possibility is to do it manually, character by characer but i'm not sure...

    You might try a search for ascii art - it might give you some ideas.

    OK. This is exciting. They do it manually, character by charater... amazing...
    an ART indeed. It could be interesting to start a thread on ascii art... maybe...
