Inspiration

We were inspired by seeing videos on YouTube that demonstrated how ASCII characters could be manipulated to look like shadows or fluids. Link to inspiration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMYfkOtYYlg.

What it does

The Interactive ASCII Gravity Simulator is an engaging and interactive project that provides users with a unique experience of exploring the effects of gravity on text made of ASCII characters. This fun application allows users to input alphabets and watch as they come to life on the screen, influenced by the force of gravity. For the best experience, use Mozilla Firefox.

How we built it

We built this project using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

Challenges we ran into

We faced multiple challenges like not being able to figure out the logic behind the animation and constantly running into errors. Furthermore, it was a difficult task to make all the letter representations and to get the site working. We also had an issue with browsers not operating the same in the HTML canvas.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the gravity effect and having a full site. Furthermore, we are also proud of the customizability features that we have set up for the gravity simulation.
