[akirahedgehog]

640 by 480 resolution with color ASCII fun. Just something fun I had to try.

That must make the game loads harder.

Re: SRB2 using caca ASCII color driver

I'm not explaining how to do this as chaos of unlimited questions may occur.

I'm guessing you compiled a separate executable with an ASCII library as the graphics driver, or something. I doubt you were using an external program, as it probably would have shown up at the bottom with the two command prompts.

 

[akirahedgehog]

I didn't have to change any source code. Just changed the SDL video driver.

I googled the driver to get some information on it. I came up with no info.

Spiffy.

Is there a version with a resolution that doesn't suck?

I found LibCaca, but I can't manage to get it downloaded. ;_;
EDIT: I finally got it but it a dang source! I can't make the freakin' make file either even though I have make! *headdesks*
Can you tell me how you got it compiled?

Hey, this is now the second best renderer. Topped by OpenGL of course kthxbye.

 

[Conic]

I assume you added another renderer?


I can has source?

My graphics card has an option for an ASCII filter on any fullscreen program. If I feel like it, I'll upload shots of it in SRB2 later.

What operating system are you using?

Morph, are you saying that it's not real?

Well if he isn't then I better learn how to read better...

 

[Sniperific]

Windows XP Service Pack 1

It's a Unix sort of thing Sky Ninja. I don't think there is an easy way to get it running in Windows XP. Sorry.

 

[Sky Ninja]

It also works natively on DOS and Windows.

It'll run somehow. If I could get it compiled, I'd be able to try... Stupid make...
