ASCII-World had it's 3'rd anniversary at March 5'th. 1094 days line was passed then. Currently age of ASCII-World in days is over 1100. Precise number today is 1101.
I am glad now after looking around programming websites around the web. Resources of computers does get better all the time and learning to make 2D and 3D graphics gets easier in same speed.
Still, new ASCII applications does pop-up nearly every week.
How come this is possible? Why newbies does still start with ASCII when simple 2D is easy to do after few weeks of learning?
I have allways thought that ASCII game is like a book. Book cant beat the movie? Maybe because it does leave visual part of the fun for reader? In same way, i think ASCII games does work.
Game is the story and the action, but visual side comes from your own imagination. There is no way 3D can beat that?
