Answer 1

hmmm...that’s an interesting looking bunny. Those cool pictures you’re talking about are known as ASCII art. ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (NASI) which outlines how characters are displayed on computers. ASCII art, as the name suggests, is the use of characters to produce artwork.

If you’re interested in ASCII art, have a look at the following sites which have some useful information and tutorials to get you started as well as some pretty cool ASCII artwork.

ASCII generators: There are a number of free sites which will convert text strings into ASCII style artwork. Simply type your name (or any other word or phrase) and let the generator produce an ASCII version.

For inspiration - HTML formatted ASCII art...really nice!
