ABC shut down FiveThirtyEight, once an amazing site for data-driven journalism and sports analysis.
I loved incorporating 538's data into old-school #retrocomputing and BBS projects, like my ANSI "Elex Forecast" BBS door. It used data from their 2016 and 2020 Election Forecast visualizations.

FANSI had its own file format -- .FAN -- which I'm hoping to write a parser for.
I learned something new today from Eric March about the .FAN format.
The first ~6K is character data -- every character, along with its FG and BG color, for the 80 columns and 24 lines.
But the final 30K is bitmap data -- a full screen dump of the image as it is displayed in the editor.
Why?

Recently I've been working on a fork of libansilove and ansilove-c that adds support for using fonts and color palettes derived from the Atari ST programs ANSIterm and FANSI.
FANSI was a really slick ANSI editor for the ST from Eric March.
It was a godsend to me as a teen when it was released in 1994. Finally I had a way to draw my own ANSI art in the full 16 colors.
If only it had come out a few years earlier!

In 2021, I did a #furry #ZZT #cyberpunk action/puzzle game, "Cyber Purge". In 2024, I overhauled it for itch.io! Become a nonbinary hacker and rescue an immersive VR game from a fascist! Old-school shooting/puzzle-solving await!

I was caught on my way to the rave club (https://chitter.xyz/@TheGreenHerring/113743258454380314), now I've been caught inside of it! Here's my first work of art for 2025, capturing me dancing that night away!

I hope tonight Santa can avoid getting entangled in the U.S.S. Enterprise's transporter beam. 
Here for your viewing pleasure is "Star Trek: The Trouble With The Rangifer Tarandus," a short holiday ANSImation I made for Blocktronics a while back. 
Mistodon: the northerly home country of @littlebitspace, the #ANSIart illustrator of today's date in last year's ADVENT23 #AdventCalendar, also lays claim to Santa Claus. But if you don't know your flags, you may not be able to see the forest for the trees.
Mistodon: As we mentioned previously, for the second year in a row, we at the Mistigris computer art collective have compiled and shared an executable #ANSIart #AdventCalendar to be enjoyed as part of the December lead-up to Christmas. This festive image, by turns jolly and grim, is @littlebitspace 's FILE_ID artwork to this year's ADVENT24 calendar program.
