Show HN: asciiQuake

Hey! I have been working on adapting the cssQuake.wtf port of Quake to ascii!

All you see in screen is ascii, of course that in order to achieve some of the required definition I had to do layers of ascii at different font sizes.

The code is fully opensource at https://github.com/apresmoi/asciiQuake

In Safari a lot of characters did not display correctly but in Chrome it looks pretty cool!

Nice, but particles (smoke, blood) are not ASCII.

		true, its corrected now! I was using colored blocks, now I prebaked the animation frames into ascii billboards

nice but it's hard to see those characters, it'll be better with some bright contrast
