You would use JS. Check out setTimeout()/setInterval() in particular. Search "JS text animation" for lots of stuff to try. The logo itself is simple: if a character is a space in the final logo, then it is always a space in the random intro text as well. The color also fades in. Generate the random characters however you want; simple char-by-char RNG is fine but using random substrings from a source string of your choice might help nail down a "style". The logo is overlaid on a larger animation. This can be implemented the same way, but you will need a little math and creativity to copy the pattern. More on reddit.com

2,000 lines of Python code to make this scrolling ASCII art animation: "The Forbidden Zone"
This is AWESOME. Those of us that program as a day job can be very quick to forget that programming is a creative activity just as much as writing, drawing, sculpting, etc. Projects like this really serve to remind us that what we do is an art form. Projects like this need to exist, and I'm extremely glad that this one does. Also, in regards to your book: thank you! I picked it up as part of a humble bundle years ago and as a result it's what I point people to immediately when I get asked about learning to code. More on reddit.com

The code used to create the animation is quite resource-intensive, so it may run with some lag if your computer doesn't have enough computing power, too many tabs open, low battery, etc. If the video export feature does not work for you, please try a free screen-recording tool such as OBS Studio.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Need help creating ASCII "animation" for Website
January 24, 2023 -

I am currently creating a design portfolio website and need help with creating an ASCII logo which changes the ascii characters it uses to reveal the logo. (see Midjourney's website) When you load/reload their desktop landing page, the logo transforms from a bunch of random ASCII characters (figure 1) generates more random ASCII letters, before turning into a readable ASCII text logo. (figure 2) It is also selectable text, not just an embedded mp4 video. Also here is another screenshot of what I'm talking about (figure 3) So far I currently just have a created the still ASCII logo in Figma using a text box and have the CSS code for it. I'm guessing I use string manipulation and replace ASCII characters used with other random ones in a for-loop. What language would I need to use to create this effect and how would I then display it on the webpage.

FYI I don't have much or any experience in CSS html and JS and have only programmed in C#, python, and VB.net, so any help would be much appreciated and also links to resources which might help me would be too!
