Being fairly new to posting hereI can't say it's never been done on B3ta - however, ASCII art is what was used to make some of the first home computer games, so it's most definately not 'new.'
In fact, ASCII art predates the invention of the word ASCII - there's officially-recognised 'works of art' that are people's portraits or landscape scenes created by running the same piece of paper through a typewriter over and over again...
I'll have to go and look some of those up, they're really rather smart! As is yours... I didn't mean it to sound like a smack-down, just a heads-up to the fact it has been done already, k?
Here, have a baboon.
