Part Two of a tutorial about ascii text-art.
Now that we have delved into castle construction with text-art,
in Part One, how about looking at some other kinds of pictures?
Automobiles might be a good thing to roll on to. Let's race on down,
and look at a simple car, to see how it's made:
_____ ... line 1 = _
___/ \____ ... line 2 = _ and / and \
|______________| ... line 3 = _ and |
(o) (o) ... line 4 = ( and o and )
... yep, that's a basic car shape. It's probably won't turn a
fast quarter mile, but it's good enough for a starting point. The
only characters we didn't use in our castle exercises, are the
letter "o" and the parenthesis. Since I imagine you know your alphabet,
let's do a little more, shall we?
______
___/ /_|__\____
|____|__|__|____)
(o) (o)
That wasn't hard, at all. I have really done nothing except put
in the doors and windows, and substitute a paraenthesis instead
of the "|" character for the front end of this auto. It's hardly a
work of art, but it is recognizable as a car; a four-door sedan, at
that. Try making a two-door on your own, and don't forget that you
can lengthen or shorten the whole car, if need be.
Now, let's see what we can do about making some better autos...
_________
____/ |___||__\_______
[ __ |- ||- \ __ |]
(__/()\_|___||___|_/()\_)
'..' '..'
Okay, it's ugly, but it might pass for a taxi cab, huh? I used five
lines, this time, and two new characters (three, actually): the - minus
character, and the two [ and ] brackets. The tires, as you can see, were
done by using nothing more than apostrophes and periods. The crude
fender wells go a long way towards making it look a little more like a
real car, don't you think?
How about a truck, made the same way? You shouldn't have any trouble
with that. Here's one of my own...

It's very similar to the taxi cab. The new character, is the
quotation mark. See what differences you can find between this, and
the car up above. Could you make an even bigger truck, this way?
Try it! How about something smaller, like a sports car?

Well... maybe it does look a little more like an old Jeepster. You
go ahead and make a better sports car, on your own. I never cared very
much for two-seaters, anyway.
Let's look at a couple of different views of automobiles. Examine
each, and see how they were made:
