It is portable demo, so you can run it on plenty of operating \nsystems and DOS. \n\nSupports: dos (VGA + MDA), stdio, curses, slang, X11, gpm, linux-console\nSound:  OSS, Sun audio, SGI, DEC Aplha, AIX, HP-UX, DOS (GUS CLASSIC, GUS\n        CLASSIC, GUS MAX, GUS ACE, GUS PNP, SB, ESS, PC-buzzer \n\nHow this all started\n====================\n\n   Once upon a time we've (my friend Kamil and I) bought two old\nHerculeses as secondary monitors. We didn't know for that time that our\nDiamond Stealths 64 cards would become obsolete soon. The next day we\ndownloaded the logo of Linux Texas Users Group - nice silly penguin\nlooking like a cowboy! It was so exciting logo ... we decided that we\ncouldn't live without it and we wanted to see it at boot time as a logo\non our secondary monitors. There was a small problem - Hercules doesn't\nsupport color graphics. So we decided to convert the penguin image to\nascii art using netpbm tools.\n\n   The output was very ugly because the converting algorithm was\nabsolutly stupid.  During the night I designed a new convertor that\nused a font bitmap to creat an aproximation table. The output wasn't\nvery good since the algorithm wasn't tuned so well. Many months this\nsmall piece of code was waiting on my disc for the day \"D\". Meanwhile I\nstarted a new project XaoS (a fractal zoomer) with my friend Thomas.\nAnd then I got an idea: Ascii Art Mandelbrots!  I was really impressed\nby the result! XaoS was faster, portable and looking much better than\never before. I found a new way to go ...\n\n\nAA-Project\n==========\n\n                               dT8  8Tb\n                              dT 8  8 Tb\n                             dT  8  8  Tb\n                          \u003cPROJECT\u003e\u003cPROJECT\u003e\n                           dT    8  8    Tb\n                          dT     8  8     Tb\n   \nThree goals of AA-Project:\n\n  1. Port all important software (like Doom, Second Reality, X windows\n     etc..) on AA-lib.\n\n  2. Port AA-lib on all available platforms (mainly ZX-Spectrum and\n     Sharp).\n\n  3. Force IBM to start manufacturing MDA cards again.\n\n   AA-project was started by Jan Hubicka. In that times just a few\npeople knew about it. Then a new demo named BB has been relased to show\nthe power of AA-lib technology. Now the project is freely available and\nanyone can help.\n\nWhere to find BB\n================\n\n   Just join our mailing list: `aa@horac.ta.jcu.cz'.\n\n   All programs covered under AA-project can be obtained at\n`ftp://ftp.ta.jcu.cz://pub/aa'.\n\n   Or just browse our homepage at `http://www.ta.jcu.cz://aa'. A ton of\nexamples of ascii-art generated by aalib, pointers to other AA-Project\nresources etc.\n\nSupport us:\n===========\n\n   We decided to distribute all of our aa-related programs freely (see\nCOPYING for details). If you want to help us more (so we could develop \nmore such software) send a small amount (or big one ;-) to AA/BB team.\nIn that case, write us for further instructions...\n\nkupsaf@feld.cvut.cz (Filip Kupsa)\nhubicka@paru.cas.cz (Jan Hubicka)\ntitania@horac.ta.jcu.cz (Mojmir Svoboda)\ntoman@horac.ta.jcu.cz (Kamil Toman)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstroucki%2Fbb","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstroucki%2Fbb","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstroucki%2Fbb/lists"}
