Symbology437

Abstract, distorted compositions using symbols from the original IBM VGA codepage 437 character set. The symbols were created in code as bitmaps, scaled, and then drawn onto the canvas. The shading is based on the characters and sets from ANSI and ASCII art styles.

There are 4 main types of outputs:

• Abstracts, 50%
• Random characters, 25%
• One of 16 preset character layouts, 25%
• One of 16 custom symbol PFP styles that will be 10% of the total outputs

For abstracts, there are several main styles created from layering different base shapes: circles, filled circles, rectangles, flow field lines, and rain-like streaks.

Color combinations include monochromatic, green or amber, dark mode, and multicolor.
