I want to keep it as manual/analog as possible, hence there is no tool for converting image to ASCII.
Prompting LLMs to draw ASCII art turned out to be a difficult task . So instead I decided to ask it make a drawing board. Wihtout coding agent I wouldn't even try myself. Although it is an interesting task, it would drift me away.
Basically it's just a drawing board with endless variations of textures and brushes: when you make large canvas and zoom out you don't see ASCII anymore, but textured drawing. E.g. this is a cat: https://x.com/delopsu_com/status/1971726204073136219, brush used: " ".
I would appreciate if you could give it a try and tell your people about it, if it's something that may be of their interest. Also please give any feedback here or on X.
turns out there is already (or is emerging) ASCII benchmark for LLMs.

Having said that, yes, fun and interesting, thank you...

> start with just printable ASCII characters in the brush
Yes. I started like this. But then set these fancy characters by default to show the capabilities, because those who are familiar with the concept know the possibilities, but those who don't know could think that it's limited and not notice wide limits.
