Post subject:  Text From Symbols Program

I made a program which takes any letter, symbol, or drawing, then recreates this using a symbol (Such as %, &, !).

What it does is it draws the text you enter onto the screen, then stores anywhere that has a colour on it into an array. Then, after going through the full screen, it redraws to every place which is stored in the array, using the symbol that was originally entered. Then, it can create a special type of text.

To run the program, it will start out by asking for a few inputs; after you input all of these, you only need to wait for it to finish. Then, it will have the new image.

Also, you can draw images to the screen as well; to do this, simply enter nothing for when it asks what text you want.

A few examples are below, as well as the program.
