The above was originally a scribbly drawing in a sketch book, which
has been converted to ascii art using chafa; it's quite good at that.
I just took the picture with my phone, edited it a bit in gimp;
mostly to increase the contrast and get rid of the notebook lines.
This kind of made me want to write my own little ascii art gizmo.
Not a good one, but a simple one for educational/proof-of-concept
purposes.
(You will of course need a gopher client that can render unicode and
the proper fonts configured to see the image)
Anyway, so I wrote up this thing in an evening:
https://tildegit.org/jns/bmp2asc
It's a single cpp file with no dependencies, just need a compiler and
a stash of sweet bitmaps, and it will spit out all the ascii (or, I
should say, unicode) you want!
