PETSCII, BBS GRAPHICS, etc.
Hey dudes!
PETSCII, Mode 1 ( http://www.kameli.net/marq/?page_id=2717 )
16 * 16 = 256 chars
PETSCII, Mode 2 ( http://www.kameli.net/marq/?page_id=2717 )
16 * 16 = 256 chars
PETSCII, Directory ( http://style64.org/dirmaster )
16 * 12 = 192 chars
So there are different Petscii modes.
What do you guys think ... would it be helpful somehow to add a credit type like "DirArt" or similar?
Any suggestions? |

My suggestion would be to rename BBS graphics credit to PETSCII graphics to cover the whole topic. |

yes, rename everything to "PETSCII". we dont hav "Demo Graphics" or "Intro Graphics" or whatever similar nonsense either. |

On a related note, dividing graphicians to "graphician" and "fullscreen graphician" is still quite odd to me.
I mean, in a similar vein, a separate "demo coder" function would also make sense. |

There's also a "Logo Graphician" category. But I suggest keeping that. I'm #6 ;) |

Hah, totally forgot about "logo graphician". I'm #5.
OK, we can keep that one. |

I've removed 'full-screen graphician' from my functions long time ago, but the old (and obsolete imo) votes are still counted. |

Me too. But what's interesting, after I've removed them, both "logo graphician" and "fullscreen graphician" functions kept reappearing on my profile page for a while due to a strange CSDb behavior I've noticed more than a decade ago.
Anyhow, just as in Hein's case, even though the aforementioned functions are removed from my profile, the votes are counted, and I'm also still present on both charts. Seems like a glitch to me. |

Waiting for a moderator to manage this thread, but setting credits for logo-graphics is not possible, so logo graphician as a function doesn't even exist irl. Charset graphician on the other hand... |

Thanks Shine for posting the images! Now you got me wondering if it's lower or uppercase PETSCII used for all these mindblowing pics? |

what groepaz sez, we don't have (and don't want to have) cats "Game musician"/"Trackmo musician"/"2 channel musician"/"demo coder"/"game coder"/"Tool Coder"/"Fake Musician"/"Musician camouflaged as coder"/"gfxian who once farted a tune", so the whole gfxian subcategories are superfluous.
@Digger: of course it makes little sense to use uppercase for PETSCII gfx in 99 of 100 cases :) |

Yeah, I guess who needs mixed case. But then you're loosing out on these diagonal beauties ;-) |

So, we need a 'charsetician' or 'fontician' category then. |

While most PETSCII screens may use the above shown 'Mode 1', real BBS graphics are in 'Mode 2', because of the big/small letters for the text messages... |

you havent seen a lot of "real" BBS gfx then - switching upper/lowercase on the fly wasnt uncommon at all. lowercase is really only a must for the "prompt" type of stuff. |

I haven't seen those modes before. Those aren't the ROM-font index-modes. Nice visualizing the graphics that way. The indices for the lines look rather comforting. |

I don't recall ever seeing upper case bbs graphics, so I'm guessing you're talking about the eighties? |

I've made uppercase PETSCII in the 2000's and posted it on Antidote BBS. Had to insert the "clear screen" & "switch to uppercase" character for it to work. |
