As far as I know, the term plasma started on Amiga, when someone figured out how to first split rasterbars (or as they were known on Amiga, copperbars) and then tech-tech them too. Example
The word has later been used for all kinds of effects with colors moving in sine patterns, and the original Amiga way of making plasma is now known as copperplasma.

Real artistery starts at painting your own dithered color-depth charset. |

Fake artistry ends at asking on forums. :) I'm not so much into "He-man and the Masters of the Dithering" style.
Oh, HCL, of course you're right anyway. |

and did it visualise the gravitational force between atoms or electrons or the space between them or their speed or spin or whatever else (all of which is somewhat related to density of "matter"), or molecular density ? |

no mr. troll in chief. it was a techtech thing like cruzer described, which does nothing like that. i never made a "real" plasma until around 1996. back in the days you'd get stoned for 4x4 or even 8x8 bullshit =P |

Luca, perhaps it is easy enough to cook one the way I did it: start paintshop pro and create an image of the size 8*2048 with 256 colors, fill it with a linear gradient from black to white, decrease the color depth to two colors using ordered dither. Then use whatever tools needed to convert the image to a charset |

@hollowman: yes, that's exactly what I'm doing right now with Photoshop, but on a 8*256 window (32 chars, then copy, vertical mirror and paste). Don't like the result yet, but I'm on it, tnx ;) |

oh, and your "real" plasma in 1996 did visualise the gravitational force between atoms or electrons or the space between them or their speed or spin or whatever else (all of which is somewhat related to density of "matter"), or molecular density ? :)) |

i personally would exactly recommend the opposite.... do NOT generate the dither chars automatically - hand drawn chars can be made to show a lot less blocky artefacts. |
