AsciiArt

AsciiArt is a way of displaying pictures on the terminal screen by using text. To use it in c++, you would use a series of cout statements.

 

There are some charactars which will trigger EscapeSequences You want to be careful to using these charactars to make sure they don't screw up your picture.
