PETSCII Animation: Vroom vroom

An excercise in parallax scrolling - A looped animation of a car going past posts and hills and a ship with sea and clouds in the background.

I did this with no theory behind me at all, so I just matched the tempo of different layers to fit within 40 frames of animation. The posts move by 8 positions a frame, the brighter hills by 4 positions a frame, the darker hills by 2 positions a frame, the ship by 1 position a frame.

The animation was made by a wonderful free piece of software "C64 ASCII Art Editor" by RADSOFT.

I cannot recommend it enough, it is incredibly detailed with many options not provided by the other program I use, Dennis Busch's PETSCII Paint. It has the animation option with which you can create your own PETSCII animations, with included export to GIF or AVI! So the picture above was fully animated in AAE.

The one advantage that PP has over AAE is that you can select custom background and foreground color for each sign. IN AAE there is only one possible background color for the whole screen. That is why I had to use full blocks of color instead of varied petscii characters, which is a pity. I only used the corners for the boat in the background since I set the sky's color as the background.

Lyrics to Depeche Mode "Enjoy The Silence" transformed into disturbing black metal type lyrics by creating anagrams

It took some effort and time but the end result is quite pleasing, if disturbing. I took the lyrics of "Enjoy The Silence" by Depeche Mode and with many, many tries with the tremendous Internet Anagram Server managed to transform it into a vile, disturbing, if not entirely coherent, whole. I present to you "Hope's Eye" by Injected Demon Leech.

Petscii cover artwork for "Dżon" by Akcja Zorganizowanej Przeciętności

PETSCII art made in aforementioned PETSCII Paint by Mr Dennis Busch for my new album "Dżon" as Akcja Zorganizowanej Przeciętności, to be issued very soon on my netlabel Underpolen.

Pixel interval study 1

the pattern:1 pixel, 1 space, 1 pixel, 2 spaces, 1 pixel, 3 spaces, 1 pixel, 4 spaces, 1 pixel, 5 spaces and then in reversed order. Each row also follows this pattern. It is shifted from the previous first by 1, then 2, 3, 4, 5 and then in reverse.

Over this repeated pattern a second identical pattern was dragged to the right, saved after shift by each pixel, then animated.

The pattern was made in MS Paint and the GIF animation in Gimp.

Twig circumstances

I found a chestnut tree twig in a very interesting shape. I then drew around it to  put it in various circumstances.

Petscii art : "This is how I imagine mr Dennis Busch relaxing after creating PETSCII PAINT"

Aah.

The image is created with PETSCII characters, using PETSCII PAINT by Mr Dennis Busch.

Because PETSCII PAINT runs in Basic, you are going to need a c64 emulator to run it on your computer.
