Challenge: VCFed logo as ASCII art, but....
I want to put an ASCII version of our logo on the opening screen of the Lego robot program. Apple text screen is 40x40. I lack the artistic skills to pick the right characters and such. Can someone do this for us? ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)3 educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation

This might work a little better since it lets you set the column size: http://www.text-image.com/convert/ascii.html On 3/4/2017 2:02 PM, Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Poor results. It turned our logo into a 40-column unrecognizable blob.

you're pushing your luck with a 40x40 text screen you may want to consider the HGR mode Since it's only 2 color there's not much involved in HGR mode But at least you can get more detail in HGR mode, just as printing ascii-art on a 132col printer Dan

Trying that approach too. :) I used Buckshot to convert our PC image file but there are two problems. First problem is our round logo came out oval-shaped. Second is it produces a file type I don't recognize (something like A2FR? I forget exactly); I have to learn what to do with that.
