I have no clue about ascii script, but I'll tell you one thing, that is hellaova lotta code!

[patlajan]

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen on the web. My jaw dropped.

[patlajan]

If that was done by hand and not a program that takes a still image and turns it into ascii, I will throw away my earthly posessions shave my head wear only a silk robe and follow this person worshiping them

[ckBejug]

damn. that was the coolest thing ever. who did that?!?!

hehe. so patlajan, are you making the matrix coder genius follower cult?

i doubt that was done by hand.

if it was, i am joining your cult.

[nimda]

the way it's made is, a special program takes video and converts each frame to ascii art. Then a javascript, plays each frame in the browser ...which creates an ascii movie

[ckBejug]

pheewwwww. i thought for a sec i might have to shave my head. i am relieved now. thank you.

That link freezes my browser therefore I see nothing "cool" about it.

[jahannam]

it doesn't freeze mine... but somehow it's bigger than my screen.. so I can't see the whole thing altogether...
I'm sure there's a way... but whatever...
