In order to view these, you must have Netscape Navigator 3.01, MSIE 4.0, Opera 3.2b2 (or higher) with the Javascript enabled.

Originally, when this site was hosted by GeoCities and then by Cwahi, the animations could be viewed onsite. But sadly, because javascript is disallowed on wordpress.com, these text-based animations cannot be housed here. However, they – including the amazing javascript clock – can still be seen… here they are:

Remember! In order to view the Javascript animations, you must have Netscape Navigator 3.01, MSIE 4.0, Opera 3.2b2 (or higher) with the Javascript enabled. These animations DON’T work in MSIE 3.0 because in their wisdom the MSIE people cleverly use a proportional font in the Javascript window.

You can also link to my site – https://llizardakaejm.wordpress.com/ascii-animations/ – if you would like. To do that, copy and paste the following into your HTML:

THIS CODING HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE OF WP's IDIOTIC WYSIWYG GUTENBERG BLOCK EDITOR THAT IS PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE TO USE! 

Thank you.

If you would like to make one of these javascript animations yourself, I have made a template.

revised February 2000: There used to be a program that you could download from Celia’s site. If you read Spanish, look for ANA.zip. And there was an English program too. From what I understand, the free ASCII editing program JavE can be used to created javascript animations. Karaboz has made a program entitled asciimator. (Luddite that I am, I haven’t actually tried either….)

Once again, these javascript ASCII-animations are entirely text based. But image based animation fascinates me too. Perhaps you would like to see some gif animations I have created.
