So you can render anything so long as it's ascii, even if it's effectively a filter?

yeah, it is better when its an console app but i won’t disqualify any submission :) any kind of ascii game is fine

Thats what I was going to ask, will it count if your ascii is actually a filter to change whats rendering into ascii only based on the screen image?

I even started doing it with C++, but I don't know how to capture the user's keystrokes without using Console.ReadKey() and preventing blocking the game loop, so I used javascript to create a giant text that was updated at 30fps, something possible replicated on the console and it worked fine, until if I play this text in the browser my game appears drawn in ASCII
