![]() But nevertheless, it was an interesting exercise. ![]() It can get quite scientific and will involve far more math calcs than the simple approach that I have followed here. The image can be reduced if one for eg take blocks of let's say 5 x 5 pixels and work out what character would best represent the 5 x 5 pixels. I have done this on a 7" tablet so that the display can fit the ASCII image. Thus, every pixel in the bitmap is represented by an ASCII character in the ASCII ART image. This is a very oversimplified way of doing it - have just used the average of each pixel's RGB values to decide upon the ASCII character to be used for each pixel. Note that the project uses inline Java code and you will need a B4A version that supports inline Java code to run the project (with the JavaObject library enabled). Have used a text size of 2 for the label and have set the typeface to MONOSPACE. The ASCII ART image is actually a label with the label's text set to the ASCII string that was generated from the bitmap (image on the left). The project uses 70 ASCII characters to generate an ASCII ART image from the bitmap. Have done this purely for the fun of it. Uses for this unique appendage range from emphasizing an argument (e.g., calling someone a homosexual, followed by the Phallus, finally followed by “you eat it!” or some similar phrase), or to just remind Slashdot readers that, yes, there are penises everywhere, even in Slashdot's forums.Ī Phallus about to enter a wide-open vulva Simple, unassuming, and to the point, the Phallus is the basis of many ASCII phallic variants, which appear below. ![]() This ASCII representation of the male penis is a standard not only on Slashdot but throughout the Internet at large. Think of the Penis Bird as a final punch in a boxing match. Usually posted mindlessly, which in itself is fine and funny, the Penis Bird can be used to accent arguments, or as a finishing stroke in a well-formed (or poorly formed, for the matter) troll post. A few, in fact, have become standard or popular on Slashdot.īased on this picture, and usually accompanied by that URL, the Penis Bird is a well-known troll on Slashdot. There are several options for graphics a little more complex than emoticons but less complex than full-blown masterpieces of textual art. A useful resource should one need smilies in their troll posts. The Emoticon Database houses thousands of these smilies and their (sometimes) obscure meanings. The use of emoticons is typically relegated to inter-troll communiques and complex trolling effects in posts (i.e., adding an extra layer of ingenuity to the post in hopes of responses). The variety of emoticons is virtually limitless one can construct many obscure or weird "faces" with imagination being the only limit however, most true trolls would rather leave the tone and mood of their posts a little vague. Some common examples and their generally accepted meanings follow… :) happy joking silly :P playfully teasing sarcasm =:o being Chinese freshly-soiled pants a surprise stick up the ass (all associated with Signal 11) ![]() One of the most common, and simple, forms of ASCII art is the emoticon (emotion + icon), often used to reveal the mood or tone of a comment, and also known as "smilies" or "faces". Since Slashdot (unfortunately for trolls) does not allow the embedding of objects, such as images and sounds, in HTML-coded comments, graphics must be constructed using textual characters: ASCII art. One of the most creative ways to express ones self in Slashdot's forums is with graphical, artistic representations art.
