ASCII Stuff

Some found ASCII artwork on the 8-Bit City your world of text page. To whoever did this, nice job.

Pixel Art: Your World of Text Monster

Done in ANSII in a text editor and inspired by yesterday's drawing. You can see this one for yourself at yourworldoftext.com/information.

/Information is a Your World of Text link repository I've been running ever since I heard about the site. Check out the your world of text links, the drawings, and maybe leave a drawing yourself. /FF7 is also pretty entertaining.

Your World of Text: RPG Town

An RPG-style Town drawn on the main page (X:6, Y:6) of yourworldoftext.com. You can edit it if you want, expand it, or mutate it. If anything interesting happens to the town, I will update this post.

Update:



The first visitor enhanced the town with some roguelike denizens and merchandise.



But then it was destroyed. City moved to X:20, Y:-10.

Update 2:

Your World of Text: The Building Art Project

Yourworldoftext.com proves to be an interesting experiment in human nature. The infinite possibilities of the space provided in ywot waste away to deleters, spambots, idiots. This, of course, is to be expected. Before I grew bored with the site, however, I launched a brief experiment of my own within Your World of Text. I call this experiment, "The Building Art Project."

The goal was simple: to create a fast, easy-to-build building that could be replicated by other users to create lots of buildings throughout the main page. To an extent, I was successful. I created several cities on the main page, hundreds of "clicks" away from 0,0. Some of the cities might remain, others have been destroyed. You can view the /worldmap I created to keep track of these both my cities and cities built by other users.

The problem, however, is that building ascii towns and buildings is boring as fuck. There just isn't anything to do with all of the infinite grid space in ywot. The Art Project, however, consists of a series of screenshots of buildings in yourworldoftext. All of these structures have long since been destroyed, and I leave you with these unusual pictures. I only built the buildings.

The attempt at creating order in a sea of chaos failed. Human nature proved to entropic for the powers of art.

Your World of Text is apparently so new it doesn't have a wikipedia page. I only mention that because I would not be surprised if Your World of Text becomes a large phenomenon. It is a collaborative editing experiment.


http://www.yourworldoftext.com

From the website:

"About Your World of Text

Your World of Text is an infinite grid of text editable by any visitor. The changes made by other people appear on your screen as they happen. Everyone starts in the same place, but you can scroll through the world using your mouse.

Put any letters at the end of the URL to go to a new world. For example, http://yourworldoftext.com/forexample. They all start off blank. You can also create a custom world for you and your friends."

So, if it becomes a phenomenon... you'll probably want to start claiming some worlds. Is this the future? If not this, some similar concept?
