I have sometimes thought about color, but it is not one of my main goals. Maybe I will add support for color to the image2ascii tool, but I am pretty sure that I do not want to add it to entire Jave. It would make it all much much much more complicated. And I don't know for how long I will keep on spending that much time on programming Jave.

'''' (the idea came from a simple 3d renderer called "Chaos 3d renderer" from the ioccc contest: http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/ioccc/) This one will be part of Jave 1.1 If you are talking about something else, please explain. > or Ascii Fractals ? ___oooooo___ ,ood888888888888PPPYboo_ ,od88888888888PP'' Y.,_ ``Y8bo_ _o888888888888P' PY BTW do you have some good guidelines (or sourcecode) on how to render a simple > mandelbrot or julia ? > I was thinking of creating a small program using this .. I could send you the source code from my Mandelbrot/Julia implementation - but it is adopted to the characteristic features of Jave (it produces pixels and Jave converts it to ascii) and I think it is a better idea to do a search on google to find source code for this. > and NO i'm not going to > tell you more about it, because you'll just program it in 5 minutes and I'll be > left with out a sense of acomplishment :P :-) 1) It took me more than two days to write the Mandelbrot Tool - and it is not worked out good enough to be included in Jave 1.1 yet 2) Even if it might sometimes look like that, I do not want to show others "Hey, look at me. I can do it better!". I just want to play around with those fancy ideas about what to do with ascii characters. By doing this I get a better idea of how to use it and can develop other things perhaps nobody thought about before. E.g. by rewriting the 3d renderer I found out a new style for the generic tools in Jave. By rewriting a fractal renderer I improved the existent algorithms. 3) I do not want to snatch away ideas from others. At the moment I have so many ideas of my own - and there is a list of about 500 lines of text with lots of great ideas for improving Jave - and some of those even came from you :-) Markus
