#Ascii art fish driver

A few, in fact, have become standard or popular on Slashdot.īased on this picture, and usually accompanied by that URL, the Penis Bird is a well-known troll on Slashdot. There are several options for graphics a little more complex than emoticons but less complex than full-blown masterpieces of textual art. A useful resource should one need smilies in their troll posts. The Emoticon Database houses thousands of these smilies and their (sometimes) obscure meanings. The use of emoticons is typically relegated to inter-troll communiques and complex trolling effects in posts (i.e., adding an extra layer of ingenuity to the post in hopes of responses). The variety of emoticons is virtually limitless one can construct many obscure or weird 'faces' with imagination being the only limit however, most true trolls would rather leave the tone and mood of their posts a little vague. Some common examples and their generally accepted meanings follow… :) happy joking silly :P playfully teasing sarcasm =:o being Chinese freshly-soiled pants a surprise stick up the ass (all associated with Signal 11) One of the most common, and simple, forms of ASCII art is the emoticon (emotion + icon), often used to reveal the mood or tone of a comment, and also known as 'smilies' or 'faces'. Since Slashdot (unfortunately for trolls) does not allow the embedding of objects, such as images and sounds, in HTML-coded comments, graphics must be constructed using textual characters: ASCII art. Import ascii_art_module def main(): ascii_art_module.ascii_rectangle (2, 4, '$') ascii_art_module.ascii_rectangle(8, 9, '#') ascii_art_module.ascii_rectangle(10, 10, '*') ascii_art_module.ascii_triangle (2, '6') ascii_art_module.ascii_triangle (4, '') ascii_art_module.ascii_triangle (8, 'C') ascii_art_module.ascii_triangle (5, '/') ascii_art_module.ascii_scary_face ('$', '*') print) ascii_art_module.ascii_scary_face ('X', '6') print ascii_art_module.One of the most creative ways to express ones self in Slashdot's forums is with graphical, artistic representations art. Make sure to pass different argument values to each function call to demonstrate how the input arguments affect the output and execution of the function.ĭef ascii_rectangle (length, width, symbol): for count_length in range (length): for count_width in range (width) : print (symbol, end='') print() def ascii_triangle (size, symbol): length = 1 for count_row in range (size): for count_col in range (0, length) : print (symbol, end='') print) length += 1 11 def ascii_scary_face (symbol_outline, symbol_eyes) : print(' + symbol_outline + symbol_outline + symbol_outline symbol_outline symbol_outline + symboi_outline + symbol_outline) print (symbol_outline + + symbol_eyes +' + symbol_eyes + + symbol_outline) print (symbol outline + ' /' + symbol_outline) print (symbol_outline + + symbol_outline) print(' ' + symbol_outline symbol_outline symbol_outline symbol_outline symbol_outline + symbol_outline + symbol_outline) +

#Ascii art fish driver

After you are finished with your new functions, go to the driver file and write 3 calls to each function (6 total) to demonstrate how the functions execute. Use parameters to change the outline of the star.

ASCII Star - Outputs a star using various symbols.Use parameters to change the look of the ears on each call. ASCII DogFace - Outputs a dog face using various symbols.Use parameters to specify the outline of the fish as well as the eyes.

ASCII Fish - Outputs a fish using various symbols.These functions should take in at least 1 parameter each that is used to alter the output of the ASCII art in some way (for example, the symbol_eyes parameter in ascii_scary_face is used to change the look of the scary face's eyes). ascii_art_scary_face Write 2 new function definitions that produce some kind of ascii art of your choosing.In that file, we have already 3 functions: In this activity, we are going to play around with the ASCII Art module that is provided on Canvas.
