For #TextModeTuesday, some fonts from my old demoscene days, recreated in 2022 for an example project of my opensource libraries:
Figlet style text generator using big fonts:

In 1994, Eerie was just a teenager. But he was also a prolific artist, musician, programmer, writer and publisher trying to find his place in the pre-web online world.

Do you ever wonder about the burning existential questions โฆ
What was โANSI artโ?
What was a โbulletin boardโ?
Were there ANSI comics?
Heck, how do you even define "comics"?
โฆ Well, I've got some answers:

A recent experiment. I made an "ascii automata" which on click places a random glyph, then analyzes if the character "touches" any of the glyph edges, then places another random character which continues the edge connection, and so forth, until it places a character that doesn't touch any edges. I made it so that you can mix and match different character sets from the dropdown menu (or load your own as png).
You can play with it at:
