Cause if you're gonna bring up an old thread why not bring up an old meme? XD

I'm gonna make something with this thing first chance I get because I like animations and ascii art and programming and I'm sure I can have some fun with this. I mean it's got layers and everything, what's not to like?

Also, eigenbom, I LOVE THE ROBOT WALKER THING.

This is very nice. Got it working on Mac too with Wineskin

Would it be possible to add an option to use fonts that have more than 256 characters?

[eigenbom]

Hey Trihook, I don't have time to maintain this anymore, but I had a quick look at the code and found that the 256 character limit is hard coded in a few places. For example, here:
https://bitbucket.org/bpio/ascii-paint/src/e2d38a44c4888f67d019e6af19f54f6f77155889/src/symbols_widget.cpp?at=default

If you know a little c++, then you're more than welcome to fork the code. It's generally pretty clean and modular. You'd have to replace the void* array with something that stores the length, like a std::list, or a TCODList or whatever is included with libtcod. The other adjustment would be the file format, as I probably use a single byte for each character. To support more than 256 you'd have to change that to a short.
