Author here, yes you're correct. The name is a bit of misnomer, and to do it truly with ASCII I'd have to move data back to the CPU which had pretty bad performance. I took a bit of artistic liberty and decided to draw my own ASCI

Author here, you're mostly right in that it's a show piece. However, it uses no external libraries, I built it all myself using VanillaJS. I do use some famous noise algorithms, specifically Simplex noise and a method of domain wa

Author here. It's a fun experiment into WebGL and graphics programming. I intended it to be a cool tool for getting inspiration for designing and creating other art in general. I do eventually want to build this out into a larger set o

Author here. This is all done on the GPU using shaders. It's a few layers, and you can find the details over on my Bluesky post, feel free to read it there. I've been thinking about making a blog post covering how I went about bui

Author here. Now that's a great idea! I might have to try and get it published there!

Author here. Not ridiculous at all, the name is a bit of a misnomer. I had tried doing true ASCII but moving data back to the CPU to render it all was too slow. So I opted to recreate them as glyphs that are drawn using signed distance func

Author here. Haha that's so creative! I definitely thought about lowering the limit, but then it wouldn't really be ASCII-esque lol. I might just lower it so that you don't have to do this workaround.

Author here. Interesting idea, I might have to tinker with it!

Author here. Wow that's so cool! I've never heard of browsh but it's so cool to see that my site (which was built to be as static as possible) works well and even renders the WebGL in the terminal. Thanks for sharing!

Author here. Interesting point about the satellite-view clouds, I'm not very familiar with that domain. But I can point you to the article I read about domain warping on top of noise, which is what I use to produce this effect. https:

Author here. P5JS is great and I've used it in the past. However you can get pretty far with just VanillaJS. Here's the source code to the ASCII Clouds tool, it's almost all plain JS. https://github.com/caidan

Author here. It’s likely the noise amount you’ve set or the glyph thresholds. I’m still tweaking it and trying to get it to be a bit more consistent.

Author here. That’s a nice trick! I’ve been pondering on how to handle this but I think I’m going to allow the ability to toggle on/off the presence of glyphs so that you don’t have to muck around with the thresholds to get them to not

Author here, I love that tool you built. Super nice effects and I’d love to see mobile support if you add it.
