Re: Video to ASCII effect

dan, that is quite impressive in it's simplicity (at least to a guy with no scripting knowledge).

in hopes of learning more about scripting...

[Dan Ebberts] "for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++){"

var i = 0, sets the initial value of 'i' to 0. then compares the value of 'i' to the value of rows. and i++ increases the value of 'i' until 'i' exceeds the value of rows, at which point the 'loop' ends (is that correct to call it a loop, or is it like a subroutine).

[Dan Ebberts] "s = """

is this just setting up a variable 's' that initially returns nothing? and it then gets increased (+=) by the value of the density array... until 'i' exceeds the value of rows, at which point 's' is nothing again (and the 'loop' stops).
