ANSI ART and TOOLS to make it

16 Colors ANSI Archive: An archive of ANSI art that aims to be a comprehensive collection of this type of electronic art. It includes tutorials on how to make your own ANSIs, art packs from former and contemporary artist, as well as tools used in ANSI, ASCII, and Demoscene projects.

Moebius an ANSI art Editor and Viewer:

Moebius is a new ANSI and ASCII Editor for MacOS, Windows, and Linux. The major feature that differentiates it from PabloDraw is the 'half-block' brush which allows editing in a style closer to Photoshop than a text editor, although you can still use the function and cursor keys to draw with, and you should find that most of the text editing features from PD are carried over to this editor. The editor is still a work in progress, but anyone who wants to try using it is also encouraged to log feature requests and bugs on the project's GitHub page.

Our server hosts an installation of Moebius. You can connect to it and draw with other Noisebridgers @ noisebridgebbs.com:8000

You will need to download Moebius to connect. Once you've started Moebius, look for the connect option at the bottom right corner. Type in the address above and hit connect. There is currently no password.
