Mistigris

I hereby proudly present the most autistic thing I've ever built yet. Unmatched in it's uselessnes but yet SO cool. You wouldn't understand LOL I'm presenting a full-blown Teletext engine. This puppy can read and write .t42 broadcast binary files and you can use it to look at archived teletext pages or create your own. As a demo I have "teletext-ified" my website. For those who don't know what this is, Teletext was a format that allowed text content to be broadcasted along with a TV channel. Any TV with a teletext decoder could view it. You could use it to look up weather, news and many other things. VERY popular in Europe. It actually still is in the Netherlands (where I'm from). It was also huge in the United Kingdom. Anyway without further ado, the link is below! This entire project is open source and available on Github. Enjoy!

Mistigram: this monochrome #ASCIIart adaptation of #DanielRidgwayKnight's 1892 painting #TheWaterCarriers was drawn by Mozz and included in last month's new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

@xbitbbs I don't think that ANSI-256 took off, but I also don't think the internet wiped the scene out either.

@mistfunk Agreed — ANSI-256 almost feels like cheating, same with rez2ansi 😅 But it lets us no-skill sysops have some fun with it. Do you think ANSI-256 would’ve taken off if the internet hadn’t wiped the scene out first?

Mistigram: this social media posting may be the only place you get to see this #ANSIart illustration of internetting while drunk (not recommended), drawn by Picrotoxin and included in last month's new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this slippery character is an #otter, drawn in charming #ASCIIart by @lt3s_mouse . It was included in last month's unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

I bet this feels so good if you're a printer.

Mistigram: this is a splash screen for a new, upcoming BBS door game titled #Exogenesis: After Earth. It was drawn in #ANSIart, along with quite a few in-game illustrations, by Zeus II, and they were included as a colly in last month's new MIST0226 artpack collection.

Mistigram: there's often dramatic weather at this time of the year, and Mozz captures it handily in this colourful #ASCIIart adaptation of #AlbertBierstadt's ~1872 #beachscene. This piece was included in last month's new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

Mistigram: #Goomba / #Kuribo wants everyone to know that #Mar10 is overrated as a holiday. (Perhaps instead consider National Mushroom Day, on Oct 15?) This #teletext screen was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the MIST0919 artpack collection released seven years ago!

Mistigram: "#ascii in the grasscii", a small and slowly-growing seed of #ANSIart from our mistfunk networked Moebius server, is the handiwork of LDA, sassafras and Moth, emerging just a few weeks before spring officially kicks in. It was included in the new unthemed MIST0226.

Mistigram: this #PETSCII illustration, "Jouer le rôle" (play the role), is unmistakably from the desk of @littlebitspace, featuring a skeletal marionette dangling at rest between two artist's mannequins. It was included in the new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.
