Haha awesome, I love these animations. Making a game with these kinds of graphics would be so cool.

Check out Dig-N-Rig, that uses ASCII. So does Chaos Stream.

Dig-N-Rig is ascii-ish. I think they may have made some custom "letters" for the graphics.

My super secret project, on the other hand, is pure-ascii. yum

Is there a way to blow up the window? I have a high resolution screen and poor eyesight...

Zoom is on my list of TODOs. But until then notice that in ascii-paint.cfg you can change the font-file entry. just manually make a font bitmap that is bigger.

cheers,

GASP!   

You are so awesome, sir.

I've implemented a new file format into ascii-paint, the Ascii Paint Format, which uses an .apf extension. This format  is more flexible than the .asc format. As well as storing the image, it can store program settings (like grid width), and will be able to handle future additions to ascii-paint, like layers. (It also conforms to the RIFF standard.)

But it needs testing! If you want to help, please download the latest 0.3.3 release, from here (https://bitbucket.org/bpio/ascii-paint/downloads/ascii-paint-bpio-0.3.3-beta.zip). Then try and load "animtest.apf", does it work? Good! Now try to make an image, with custom grid settings (visible,width,height), save it with an ".apf" extension, then change all the settings and image, reload the file, and hopefully your old grid settings (and image) should load. Thanks! Oh, and while you're at it, you can test fullscreen mode. (ALT+ENTER)

Tested full screen and that worked okay except for some reason the <--> slider UI for dragging numeric values (grid width and height) seemed to be glitching out a bit, it would jump to one and then not move, and/or the cursor would teleport?

File loading/saving seemed to work for me.  Is the format documented anywhere?  It'd be nice to have a spec in case I want to write a loader for them.
