Why is this an advantage? I have a GPU and I'd rather it was used. As-is, one of my CPU cores is pegged at 100% just rendering the landing page.

When the topic is rendering 3d models using ASCII glyphs, we've already exited the realm of advantages and disadvantages. This is just supposed to be cool.

[Retr0id]

Cool things are allowed to be practical and well-engineered, too. Either way, it seems weird to list a disadvantage as a headline feature.

[khazhoux]

Sure. But I think the idea is already absurd, so I'm not expecting a performant engine out of it.

I get your point though, that the same ASCII rendering effect might be doable at much higher scale without pegging the CPU.

maybe to prove the output is purely text only?

heh, i came here to say basically the same thing
