Once upon a time, ASCII was king, before the Internet was fast enough for images. ASCII is one of the first widely-used character encodings to represent text on computers. It's just letters, numbers, and punctuation. But in the absence of images, people started drawing images using text. And ASCII conveniently represented every character of text as exactly the same width, so it's like drawing with pixels, except instead of colors you just use different letters. And so a new art form arose... ASCII ART!
ASCII With Us is an ASCII playground where you can experiment with ASCII art by building a world out of ASCII with other players. And it's a shared canvas, so you can meet up with friends or other players online, and you can see what is being typed in real-time. And it never runs out of space, because anyone can create a doorway to another screen at any time. This way the ASCII scene becomes interactive, with doors on houses leading inside the house, and arrows pointing east and west, with little hidden gems and original ASCII art hidden in every nook and cranny. Come ASCII with us! :)

This is similar to the holodeck except it's taken to a new level with a graphical user interface! To check out a text-based game with a similar concept, check out holodeck.
