  2. My inspiration… • "Boring is the new Nifty." • - Stuart Reges (Nifty 06) • in an age of 3-D graphics and video games, what could be more boring/retro than ASCII art? ,,,,,, o#'9MMHb':'-,o, .oH":HH$' "' ' -*R&o, dMMM*""'`' .oM"HM?. ,MMM' "HLbd< ?&H\ .:MH ."\ ` MM MM&b .

  3. o /#\ _|_ \o/ # _/ \_ o What are ASCIImations? • ASCIImation – an animation (movie) in which each frame is ASCII art

  4. Why ASCIImations? • relatively simple application but involves • GUI-building • representation choices • data structures • timer events • … • can be used in a variety of courses • CS0: create HTML framework for editing/animating • CS1/CS2: create stand-alone app (including GUI, files, …) • Web Programming: utilize PHP to upload, store, & download • visual & taps into student creativity (even non-CS types)

  5. CS0 assignment • CS0 at Creighton: • intro to computers, Internet/Web, scientific apps • HTML + JavaScript • animation code is provided, students build the page • text areas & buttons • each student must create an animation Interesting side question: how big can a movie be? What, if anything, limits size?

  6. CS1/CS2 assignment • in Java course, students build a stand-alone app • store & access animations as files • threads & Timer • can add lots of GUI bells & whistles • discuss tradeoffs with Web-based version Interesting side question: application vs. applet

  7. Web Programming assignment • to utilize files over the Web, need server-side programming • good project for an upper-level course • can integrate client-side JavaScript with PHP to • upload animation from a form and store in a file • generate a viewer page with options for each file & button for downloading • PHP makes this EASY

  8. Just for fun! • great opportunity for outreach • we are currently running a campus wide contest • prizes donated by Apple • good PR for our department and for our Interactive Web Development Minor

  9. Summary //////// /////////// | __ //// | o /}/ /_ /// ////// >//// //// • ASCIImations • they're simple • they're creative • they're fun • they're flexible • check out the Web for lots of ASCII art sites & tools • in particular, visit the Star Wars ASCIImation site: http://www.asciimation.co.nz/
