Really like it, only thing some of the cells can be jittery and rapidly switch back and forth between two symbols, making for an unpleasant effect, maybe there is a way to smooth this?

#32That’s pretty hypnotic. Very cool.
Re: ASCII Clouds
#33cool. but if it's really about ASCII then I expect to have possibility to copy/paste a cloudy sky in my text editor ;-P
Re: ASCII Clouds
#34Nice. This looks similar to what I have implemented: https://www.npmjs.com/package/asciiground, but I intended it more as a library where a user could program their own patterns by extending the existing systems. Sadly, my GitHub account got flagged, so there is no way to access the repository or GitHub pages for the demo at the moment.

First time I came across this, why does a github account get flaggged?

#36Similar Perlin-based effect with mouse reactivity & audio: https://srdjan.pro
you should disclose that it's your portfolio
Re: ASCII Clouds
#37That is so beautiful. The underlying algorithm is perlin noise (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise) and it's over 40 years old!
It's such a fabulous tool as the generated images can be used for effects like glass/ice displacements, cheap water-like effects, but you can also generate terrains from it or just cool visual effects that benefit from random patterns. The core property to me is that it feels very organic/natural.
This was such a common tool in Flash AS3 back in the days to create stunning effects, games and such. I'm not active in building visual stuff like that anymore but I bet it's still very common in this field, because why not?

No idea. I submitted a reinstatement request, but I haven't received any response in the past 4 months.
Re: ASCII Clouds
#39Super fun! I was exploring this type of thing as one of my first experiments with Claude Code early last year.

I should go back and add mobile support, maybe fullscreen support.

It dies with lots of WebGL errors here, so I only see a white page. So that's definitely not ASCII in my book. Would be more fun to have an actual text based output indeed.
