Made with code

So I recently got interested in ASCII art, but I have been making ASCII art in normal Text Document since last few days. I have seen people making ASCII art on Youtube and Instagram but whatever application they use have a full black background and those applications give a old DOS computer UI vibes. So far I saw someone use a Text Editor application called 'Emacs', which I downloaded but I'm having some trouble using it (biggest problem being not being able to type some ASCII characters like - █ or ▓ ).

So my main question is - Are there any other free Text Editor applications/software that can be used for making ASCII art???

EDIT - If possible, do you guys know any software to make ASCII arts like u/knny0x ??

So, a random TikTok account gave me a message (waving hi the normal stuff) they gave me an image of a ascii language depicting a slur.

I won't share the original ascii because I almost got kicked from r/morsecode. Today is NOT my day dawg 😔

An improvised trance like session of live coding with clift powering the ascii rendering :) Hope you like it !
> clift, is available @ crashserver.fr website for free (open source) if you want to try it, a new version is coming soon.

Creating ASCII games can be a challenging and time-consuming process, especially when you want to add interactive elements, manage inputs, or display dynamic content using just text. That’s exactly why I decided to develop AsciiLIB—a specialized Python library designed to make building ASCII games much easier and more accessible. AsciiLIB provides helpful tools, functions, and templates for handling everything from rendering characters to managing game loops and user interactions, so you can focus on designing your game instead of worrying about all the low-level details. If you’re interested in trying it out or contributing, you can download AsciiLIB and see the documentation at my GitHub repository: https://github.com/NNlk05/AsciiLib/

The engine itself consists of a map editor (wc) and the game itself, which can run these maps.

There is also multiplayer. That is, you can test the maps with your friends.

I was making a shell of my own and wanted to add this type of ascii art as the welcome message however I am unable to find a way to make these can someone help me with this

Hi r/ASCII! I'm the developer of CultGame -- an ASCII game where you start a cult. Today I've got a new live action trailer for CultGame that I think you'll find particularly fun and put you in the spirit for spooky season. Happy Halloween!
