It does indeed sound like big fun - unfortunately (or maybe not?) I still
do everything by hand, so to speak - partly by preference (I like the
physicality of writing words backwards or whatever it is I'm doing) but
also because I have some vision problems and looking at a screen gives me
major headaches and migraines. I read most things by printing them
out. The new flat screens have helped a lot, but it's still a problem
- or not...
Onword,
John

This looks like a really fun open source project. Particularly thrilled
to have another way to generate ascii fonts or even better, it seems to
have a font editor to make your own ascii font. A lot of the fonts are
pretty cheesy, but some of the 3d fonts are quite lovely. Do you have
any animations to show us? I couldn't get the animator to output
correctly.

John, I'm using a program called Jave you might
like to play with. It's sort of an ASCII Photoshop.
http://www.jave.de/ Thanks for the kind words.
It has a mirror function so it might allow you to automate
your word flippages if you are still doing those by hand.
you can also convert to gif for anim.s, photoshop fun, etc.
That's how I make the linear arrangements series.
I'd love to see what other people might make with it.
It's an excellent tool for vispo. I'm just trying to
learn it. It's pretty stable. Sometimes it crashes,
and not every single thing in the menu is functional yet.
