In July, I made an ambitious parallax based ASCII interactive artwork as a commission for x.com/danywander. It is online since a few weeks now on of.domains. I made a standalone version with a background music on adelfaure.net/artware/asci.... Source code is available on gitlab.com/adelfaure/op...

Exploring a mysterious text mode world

**Warning: flashing images**

I'm getting into live coded audio and visual noise. Both visual and audio are made from the same data. The generative aspect is mostly based on data feedback modulated by sine functions and time

I've finished the poster for this year's Lyon Algorave
#textmode #pixelart #poster #algorave

This image is a printed poster from this year's Lyon algorave. It features a variety of information. "Algorave Grrrnd zero 24 mai 18h-6h" as a title alternating red and black colors on each title line. Several boxes with red text contain additional information: "Nuit de Live coding", "60 avenue de Bohlen 69120 Vaulx-en-Velin", "Prix libre, no CB, 6 euros conseillé", "Performances visuelles et sonores de 39 artistes", "Restauration sur place". Group names are written in white text on a red background above a text-mode illustration of the city: "emilie_breslavetz", "z0rg", "peregrine", "lbvp", "libre_&change_trio", "polymorphic_engine", "parvagues", "th4", "maeertt", "crash_server", "sara_adkins", "bubobubo && ralt44mi", "nabir", "jaxa", "lucky. juj" , "syntonie" , "three_naughti_bois" , "2mo", "fronssons", "marlen", "plot", "kaamtar", "ungual", "dok", "nesso && bruno_gola", "afalf", "neon_delice", "bleuje", "c_robo", "azertype", "gcode". The background illustration shows a city street scene with 3 building facades, a pedestrian street with a staircase leading down to a train station, and a street with cars. Numerous characters walk or interact with each other. Animals are also present in the illustration: a dog, cats, rats and birds. Some of the walls feature graffitis: "Fuck Lepen", "Act for LGBTQIA+", "Free Palestine", "A mort le patriarcat". On the bottom of the poster is written special mentions: "organisé par ordinateur_dans_la_tete 21472 bytes poster by adel_faure Greetz to Mistigris, Textmode Friends, 1-Bit Bad Bitches and Cookie collective". The picture is a scan of a riso print, with cream paper and halftone texture.

After two years, I'm finally putting some new music on www.adelfaure.net. Named “Velours Polaire” its a recording of my solo session (we did also duo, trio group session) at the live coding concert on March 14 at Labomedia's garage in Orléans. You can listen to it here adelfaure.net/music/#velou...

$Picture show an abstract color composition displaying 16 colors ordered like a voronoi diagram. On bottom of the color composition is written "/\ 2025 > velours_polaire.mp3"$

Made for a RPG style dialog screen mockup for The Wind through the Wheels inspired by Roadwarden main screen.

#textmode #pixelart #gamedev #TheWindThroughTheWheels

The picture is divided in two parts. On left the lighthouse of the previous post and on right a dialog box featuring the portrait of a fisherman. The dialog box include text : "[...] storey was a temple with a domed roof notable for the beauty of its mosaic. [fisherman portrait] John the fisherman: Now year gone by, we find someone who rules the sea. He sets out on a dark May morning to bring its catch back to this small community. He did not see the danger dawning. Four hours up, oh, the Cycle swelled and swelled. The fog rolled in, it started raining... --- answers --- What happened then ? _ I think I see where this goes... "

Lighthouse

#textmode #pixelart

The picture show a lighthouse standing on a rocky shore. The lighthouse is not very high and stand in a group of old buildings. The global structure features a walled courtyard with a tall tree.
The rocks under the buildings are big and sharp. Sky is blue-grey and water is from a darker blue. The picture is made of small blocks of 8x8 pixels of geometric shapes in a limited number of colors.

For example, the forest will prevent wind, while the mountains will increase the chances of ascents and descents. These elements will be encountered as some sort of enemies sending malus to the characters stats, and skills will be available to eliminate them or convert them into bonuses
(5/9)

The image shows a game interface. Four character sheets are lined up on the left. In the center, a grid with a few colored tokens. On the right are avatars representing riding conditions. The image generally suggests interactive possibilities, scrolling, clicking, showing the possibility of sending character skills to the central grid above the tokens. There's also a log at the bottom right of the screen describing what appears to be a currently selected skill “Capacity 1: convert Pull to Progress, clear other elements”

ASCII surely was cool but colored text mode will allow more expressiveness and cool animation style like the cycling animation I posted. Here a mock-up for the riding screen, including landscape parallax scrolling and dialogue between characters waiting road events and getting to destination
(3/9)

The image shows four cyclists seen from the side in front of a coastal landscape. In the background, the sun is fairly close to the horizon line, a few birds are flying in the distance, there are clouds and land on the right and left edges of the image that are reflected on the sea. In the middle ground, there's a beach, partially hidden by smooth grassy hills with a few rocks and bushes. In the foreground, the four cyclists are riding, one of them saying “We're getting close!”, another “Let's go!”

Textmode cycling.
Made using Textor with a custom bitmap font close to PETSCII but not really.
Palette used is anb16 by @anubiarts.bsky.social

Made this demo like stuff while working on Textor's audio implementation.

I used a live-coding tool I made that is quite a copycat of @ertdfgcvb.xyz Play play.ertdfgcvb.xyz (don't do nft).

Its hidden on my website here adelfaure.net/lab/textorLi... very poorly documented and only in french

#ASCIIart redrawn of Cabanel's Fallen Angel working on a .nfo commission for @icarusredux.bsky.social

ASCII art redrawn by Alexandre Cabanel Fallen Angel. It is an excerpt focusing on the wrathful look of the devil who has just fallen from heaven. At the top and bottom of the redrawn excerpt, "ICARUS REDUX" is written in stylised letters along two feathers.

I've been documenting Textor, my JavaScript library for text-based and tile-based graphics, for several weeks. It's been more work than I expected, but it's starting to come together. I'm adding ASCII diagrams about library principle and structure hope it will help explain things
