is there any way u can get this to work on a windows 7? wen i try it a box shows up with the sounds and everything but it only displays my desktop background.
@HaloCPPGuy said "Editing a video to make a game look ASCII makes the game being ASCII not legit as a ASCII game."
It's the same thing. The polygon are not magically 'ascii-mapped'. The game is rendered to a color buffer then then post processed to ascii picture. You obviously don't know shit about computer. Fuck off.
Also, you can't give advice like 'go get a life' when you are yourself responding to comments over the Interwebs. Have a great day and fuck you very much.
@HaloCPPGuy said "Wait....have you just converted the video to ASCII or is this a legit ASCII game?"
Post process effect aren't legit? This transform polygon, find all the color element for the view plane, and then map each color point to a ascii-color character. Why it would be less legit if the all the color element are been computed before it is mapped to ascii? It just a more efficient way of doing it. Fuck you.
It's rendered in 3D through Microsoft's software OpenGL renderer (no help from GPU) in 80×50 (without AA), 160×100 (default AA) or 320×200 (extra AA) resolution, resampled to 80×50 to get AA, then for each pixel a character and one of 16 console colors is chosen, and this all is then written into the text-mode framebuffer (in fullscreen) or console window buffer. After that the HUD is written over that image.
WOW dude this is just awesome.I have though of making some 3d shutter with ascii but never started it because i was thinking it was impossible.thx to you now i will try harder to make it
You added the music in after, yet you move your sights in time with the beat...? :O

are the 3d effects hard coded or does the thing accually use 3d modals?
awaawaa12 1 year ago
@awaawaa12 hardcoded, i.e. all models are and generated when the game starts

lol they should have a text mode option for modern pc games if your graphics card sucks

the music is actually a cover version of New Order's 'True Faith' albeit a slightly faster version than the original..

the funny thing is, I bet this could've been made a long time ago and just that no one thought about such games :|
