ASCII art is when you take graphics and convert them to text, but in such a way that the text resembles the image. TUAW has recently featured a multitude of interesting Mac applications having to do with ASCII art. I thought I’d post them, partly because I’ve got nothing better to do, and partly because I want to be able to find them again when I get home.

• Figlet Widget (post) - Widget for dashboard that converts text to larger ASCII text in various styles.
• NetHack 3.4.3 (post) -Text-based first-person dungeon adventure game
• Terminal Tip: ASCII-ify your videos
• Terminal Tip: Create a text banner
• Mac ASCII Invaders (post)

Enjoy!
