Just check it out and you will see:

that is amazing, do you think that was done with some sort of plug in?

Thanks for the cool link,

Bloody amazing.

You can get bitmap 2 ascii converters, so I'm guessing it was done with one of 'em.... frame by frame perhaps?

Good observation... I would imagine it was done frame by frame putting together bitmap 2 ascii art.

i wouldnt be surprised if there ais a program that coverts the whole animation. much like the programs that convert a pixel based AVI to a Vector based SWF. like the cool cell shaded animations.

This is really good. Any ideas how they made it?

I have to agree here, frame by frame seems more realistic simple because they use Javascript to flick between the the different frames stored in the source file. I find it hard to believe this is not a custom thing! Then again i may be wrong.. either way it is very impresive!

Whoa! Thats pimp tight. Now they gotta make it green

That's pretty easy to do yourself . I would attach the green version but this site wont let me, but anyway open up the html's file with your text edirot and follow these two steps.

1)

find the line below line and remove the color="#000000" from the font tag (there is one for each frame so i'd suggest using your editors search and replace function).

<font size="1" face="Courier New, Courier, mono" color="#000000">

-------------------

2)

find the line below and replace #FF9090 (red) with #339966 (green)

PRE { font-family:fixed,fixedsys,"Courier New",monaco,monospace;
color:#ff9090 }


And your done it's all green

Mark.

I have never heard of those... what program does that, converts AVI to SWF to look cell shaded? that soudns amazing, I always wondered how that was done (like that car commercial right...)

I think that nowdays video to flash converter is the best from such tools in quality
