If you don't have DOS then use a search engine to find some kind of ANSI Drawer for your system! ANSI is what you are talking about! ANSI is color ASCII! It's a whole lot better than just plain ASCII, but it crashes many systems! Anyway, after you have TheDraw or whatever go into it and make an ANSI picture or something & save it! Then edit the file you just saved & all those [1;30m, [0m, [255D, etc. things you see with the arrow in front of them are what causes the color & various other things! Experiment with them! It's a lot of fun! +-----------------+ ! -=�OOGLY MAN�=-1 ! +-----------------+
