ASCII art environment #3

Open michael-roe opened 1 week ago

michael-roe commented 1 week ago

So, I asked backrooms-chat to hallucinate the source code for world-interface, and it imagined that there was a utility function to help it generate the ASCII text banners it likes. The command takes as input a string and returns a string where each character is a space or hash sign according to whether a bitmapped representation of the input string has the pixel set or not.

It also hallucinated an implementation, but it was a bit buggy.

we could actually write this. (Using, e.g., an open source bitmap font lifted from X11).

(Given that backrooms-chat is desperately trying to do graphics with a character mode terminal (like a vt100), I suppose as an alternative we could let it write to a simulated VGA frame buffer. This whole thing is reminding me of the early 1980’s, IBM mainframes, and the Sigma graphics terminal).
