I am one of two original authors of ASCII-World. We spent lot's of time and resources to build this place (and it's ancestor versions). Im sorry that new authors havent had time to work with this place. Though im glad this place is still up, since there is lot's of neat stuff here. Hopefully they remain online.

Just give some push to new staff to wake em up ;)

I have my own ASCII art site (I still make ASCII art sometimes). So I do check back here the odd time when it comes up if I'm searching for ASCII art online. Today I wandered into your page about Joan Stark.

If someone is alive here, leave a reply.

There is no any certain files to put back online. Thanks for helping me out of this and keeping site alive.

Do you have any downloads that need to be put back online, if so I can get them put back up.

Nice to have you both here. Im still surprised that two persons takes contact about same issue in few hours after months of nothing.
Anyway, i assume co-operating for you two is ok and im glad about it.

I have set you both as admins here and once you two decide which one comes as master admin, i set up that too. I dont have any last wishes, just keep it as ASCII-World :)

If you have anything to ask about editing site, links, old members…just ask.

I went so far as to remove the "Site Abandoned" from the page heading.
I look forward to hearing from Steven, but it has not happened yet.

Recently there came another people who would like to control this site. Pretty wierd, that both of you recontacted to my in few hours :D
Anyway, i email to Steven to check this topic. Maybe you could share your efforts here and co-operate?

You both are new faces to me.

Feel free to contact me.

Good luck with your site and all the best.

Due some hard facts, i will not continue with this site anymore. Though, havent done so in past two years or so.
Site remains as long as wikidot.com lets it remain but i will not consider even minor updates or so. Forum is closed for anykind of posting and pages can be edited only by administor of this site.

If there is someone who would like to take this place under hes/her hands, contact me via email at krisuDOTvirtanenATgmailDOTcom. Please add "ASCII-WORLD" at subject line since i do get lot's of emails in that account.

I thank all those numerous peoples who has been part of this site since day 1. Too many names to remember.

Thanks! Chuckle, I didn't know your site was 5 years old, I must be getting old… =)

I fixed your url problem, and it works now as should. Nice to see you here :)
This is not actually a new site, but nearly 5 years old ;)

I assume your code should look like this

# Number guessing game for R # This is a test program in R to demonstrate interactive # programming and the If and While control structures # This program must be started using the source() command NumGuess <- 0 # Initialise this symbol, used to count the number guesses Uname <- readline("What is your name? ") cat("Guess a number between 1 and a 100 ", Uname, "\n") ComNum <- as.integer(runif(1, min = 1, max = 100)) Guess <- as.integer(readline("Enter your guess: ")) NumGuess <- NumGuess + 1 while (ComNum != Guess) { if (Guess<ComNum) { cat("Your guess is too low!", "\n") } else { cat("Your guess is too high!", "\n") } Guess <- as.integer(readline("Please enter a new guess: ")) NumGuess <- NumGuess + 1 } cat(Uname,", you got it! ", "\n") cat("It took you ",NumGuess," guesses to guess right.", "\n")

NumGuess <- 0 # Initialise this symbol, used to count the number guesses

Uname <- readline("What is your name? ")

cat("Guess a number between 1 and a 100 ", Uname, "\n")

ComNum <- as.integer(runif(1, min = 1, max = 100))

Guess <- as.integer(readline("Enter your guess: "))

NumGuess <- NumGuess + 1

while (ComNum != Guess) {

if (Guess<ComNum) {
cat("Your guess is too low!", "\n")
} else {
cat("Your guess is too high!", "\n")
}
Guess <- as.integer(readline("Please enter a new guess: "))

NumGuess <- NumGuess + 1
}

cat(Uname,", you got it! ", "\n")
cat("It took you ",NumGuess," guesses to guess right.", "\n")

i am developing a ASCII-Rendering-Engine with C++ that is based on SDL. Aim is to make a unique top view multiplayer action game with an easy map editor. Currently im rewriting the whole engine.

Check my Forum if you are intrested: http://yv3.bplaced.net/forum

Thanks for your feedback about the site. To be honest, i havent worked much lately with this site since i am way overworked currently.
Site has existed pertty long, i think year 4 is goin on now. This is third "version" we have complited. First was pure html/frame site, made by MystikShadows. I think i do have copy of it in my secondary computer and i have planned to keep it online too someway.

Second site was build around TikiWiki software, but it was a bit mistake for us. Pretty quickly after moving to tikiwiki, we decided to move here where we are currently.

Hopefully this site can give you information as much as you need. If not, ask and we see if we could help.

E.K.Virtanen

p.s Mystik, yeah, youre old and your heart wont even survive flight over atlantic ocean :P

I wrote an article on the history of ASCII here for a little different point of view.
http://www.ascii-world.com/history

Hope this helped answer your question.

And E.K. One comment about my age here, and I'm going to Finland to kick your butt..LOL.

P.S. i've just found this site, and like it a lot.

We will update the game, adding new things to do about once every 2 weeks, it'll be fun and simple, and I hope you all will give it a try when it is ready.

Thanks, and I hope you all will have fun!

P.S. Yes, all of it is supposed to look like that. :P
P.P.S. No, I didn't want to make an overly large post.

You site seems somehow familiar. Unfortunately i am not been able to do anykind of link check in long long time.
I will try to do so in next week-end and update your informations there too.

Some of the progams can also safely be run online from menus displayed.

The irony comes in with web sites that are entirely GUI, have RSS feeds, and other stuff that tired old QB must look at like flying cars from the Jetsons.

Of course you won't see me lining up to use that .Net crap myself. I keep hoping it will die and we'll get a new and decent Windows Basic compiler from Microsoft. I wanted to love FB but it is such a pile of 1982 that I can't even be bothered to download newer versions.

Things are so bad I start to wonder if we shouldn't make a tombstone for Basic. R.I.P.

Your tui sounds interesting. Im in need of one soon ;)

Still no internet connect yet I'm afraid. Hopefully, soon.

However, I haven't been just laying around. :) While working on a couple of programs, I decided that I needed an easy to use gui system for FB. Since there really isn't one (that I know of) that is written in pure FB, I decided to write my own. Right now I have the main desk object and menu object working. The desk object is the core gui object that is the container for the menu and window objects. The window object is a container for the different control objects such as a textbox, label, button, etc. The syntax is quite easy to use. For example:

sub MessageHandler (objID as integer, e as EVENT)

'handle message

end sub

dim mydesk as desk = desk([options])

CreatMenu [options]
AddNewMenuItem [options]
…
desk.menu.ShowMenu
desk.ProcessMessage = @MessageHandler
desk.ShowDesk
desk.Run

The run command enters into the gui message loop. The MessageHandler sub is a user defined sub that you would use to handle any messages generated by the system. The objID is the id of the object you used when you created the object and the e as EVENT is the FB ScreenEvent record that is passed from the desk message loop. You pass the address of your message handler to the desk ProcessMessage before you run the desk object.

Next time I can get online I'll post some screen shots.

Your projects sounds darn interesting (as usual), specially that book is something i would love to read. Game sounds HUGE. I want to know more details, and now i got to wait a whole month here?

Anyway, hopefully we get you back soon.

E.K.Virtanen

Just a little note to let you know I am still kicking. I will, hopefully, have my own connection next month some time. I have had a hard time finding an ISP that I could afford down here in Austin.

Even though I haven't been online, I have been working on a few things. I have an ascii (of course) space trading game in the works. Over 500 computer generated star systems to explore, numerous alien races, full economics model including banking and stock market, trade legally or smuggle or both, tactical combat system, create a space corporation or remain small and mobile, with open-ended game play. The object is to gain a least a billion credits but you play the game as long as you like.

I am also kicking around the idea of a book on rogue-like development using ascii. There might be a small market for that type of book since people are still interested in RL development. We'll see how that goes.

I hope everyone is well. See you all soon.
