On: Bashfill – art for your terminal

pretty cool, can you make the blocks smaller though improve detail?

You can’t. It uses characters for pixels so you have either scale up your terminal or use a graphical image display.

You can use braille unicode characters for sub-character dots as in https://github.com/rastapasta/mapscii

Yes but you can’t use different colors for different dots in the same character.

If you know that you'll be zoomed way out, and have a big screen, you can fork it and change the dimensions. Terms are 80x23. I made it 40x23 to get squareish blocks. Feel free to go crazy with the dimensions and try it out.

That would be interesting, but first you'd have to write a new terminal type. And then there would be... another step or two.
