  • BBS Inspired ANSI Dungeon Crawler Update

    From BBS ( /u/jcbbjjttt https://www.reddit.com/user/jcbbjjttt ) to All on Wed Mar 4 16:29:13 2026

    I have been creating an ANSI inspired art tool specifically for creating art for a BBS inspired dungeon crawler. I posted a video here a bit back and people seemed to enjoy it. This video shows the actual "game play" walking around in the dungeon that is rendered using strategically placed layered ANSI. I thought this community would appreciate this. Still working on the tool so not ready for general use as the file format continues to change and I don't want anyone's work to be lost and broken. That said, I do plan to release for use by anyone when it is stable.
    Screens are generated using ASCII escape sequences that are compatible with most modern terminals. The tool does support exporting images in ANS format and will convert to a CGA palette (note, the format in the video is using 24-bit colors). Though, I've been doing some research and it seems possible that it could be rendered properly in SyncTerm but I have not explicitly tried to do so yet. submitted by /u/jcbbjjttt [link] [comments]
