  • How can I get started on ANSI art and stuff

    From Enigma@VERT to All on Tue Apr 20 12:02:52 2021
    Just arrived on this BBS by accident. Never used one before.
    The ANSI arts section is really impressive, and I was wondering about how are they made.
    There's a specific software intended for it or what?

    Greetings from Brazil.

    Yes, there are programs such as TheDraw (a fairly old one now, from the 90s) and PabloDraw (newer, for Windows) that can be used to draw ANSI.

    Bem-vindo!

    Greetings! I am new to BBSes too and am also impressed by the ANSI art I come across. No idea how they do it!

    Moebius is also quite good, modern, and cross platform.
