Does anyone know what you would call pictures/art made from dots/dashes/slashes/ etc. on a word processor?
Question by : Does anyone know what you would call pictures/art made from dots/dashes/slashes/ etc. on a word processor?
I recently watched You, Me, and Everyone We Know and in the movie two characters were making a picture of a tiger head from typing a series of dots, dashes, slashes, and enters into a word processing program. They were getting the pattern from a book, which told them exactly what to enter to get the picture. Doe anyone know what this activity would be called? I want to find a similar book or web site that supplies patterns like this. Thanks!

It is called ASCII art from the name of the character code set that we used while I was growing up http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS366US366&biw=700&bih=536&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=ascii+art&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=ascii+&gs_rfai=
