I'm working on a project[1] where one constraint I have set myself is the use of plain text ASCII throughout the site.<p>I have the data ready but I'm looking for inspiration for projects where ASCII format was used for visualizing data. I deal with plain text cricket data, so visualizations I'm thinking about include spider charts, score worms, bee swarms, wagon wheels, etc!<p>Any good implementations of ASCII would be great to check out.<p>[1] https://criclite.com
This site might be very inspirational for you: <a href="https://plaintextsports.com/nba/2025-03-24/lal-orl" rel="nofollow">https://plaintextsports.com/nba/2025-03-24/lal-orl</a><p>Funny too, I was just browsing through this thread today: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/123378/command-line-unix-ascii-based-charting-plotting-tool" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/123378/command-line-unix...</a><p>And <a href="https://v2.wttr.in/" rel="nofollow">https://v2.wttr.in/</a> is decent.<p>I think you'll find that ASCII-only is very limiting, and a few Unicode symbols like the Braille dots would make a big difference. That's been my experience anyways making ASCII things.<p>Wagon wheels in particular seem like a very tough ASCII challenge -- I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
