Aalib bb windows




















The output wasn't very good since the algorithm wasn't tuned so well. Many months this small piece of code was waiting on my disc for the day "D". Meanwhile I started a new project XaoS a fractal zoomer with my friend Thomas.

And then I got an idea: Ascii Art Mandelbrots! I was really impressed by the result! XaoS was faster, portable and looking much better than ever before.

I found a new way to go Port all important software like Doom, Second Reality, X windows etc.. AA-project was started by Jan Hubicka. In that times just a few people knew about it. Then a new demo named BB has been relased to show the power of AA-lib technology.

Now the project is freely available and anyone can help. A ton of examples of ascii-art generated by aalib, pointers to other AA-Project resources etc. It serves you data and walks away.

Only the sole system administrator has access to that data, which consists of your IP address and the data you requested. These logs are automatically deleted whether they have been reviewed or not, and are not used for any further purpose.

In fact, there is no graphical output possible. AA-lib replaces those old-fashioned output methods with powerful ascii-art renderer. Now my linux boots with a nice penguin logo at secondary display yes! Learning a new API would be a piece of cake! We didn't know for that time that our Diamond Stealths 64 cards would become obsolete soon. The next day we downloaded the logo of Linux Texas Users Group - nice silly penguin looking like a cowboy! It was so exciting logo There was a small problem - Hercules doesn't support color graphics.

So we decided to convert the penguin image to ascii art using netpbm tools. The output was very ugly because the converting algorithm was absolutely stupid.

During the night I designed a new convertor that used a font bitmap to creat an approximation table. The output wasn't very good since the algorithm wasn't tuned so well.
