This brings back memories of when I used to code. Hours spent writing code, debugging, test running, all to find that someone else had made the same program that ran 1000x faster and smoother than what I had made.
When I was 6 years old, it was 1996. and I was with my kindergarten on a school trip. Back then, there weren't PCs available on location, only old FAX telephones.

Keep "Coding Challenge". That name has worked well for six years! But ditch the clock. The challenge for you is to explain the coding process so that others can understand it, and you shouldn't feel rushed. The challenge for Coding Train passengers is to make (and hopefully share) our own variants.
I just started coding a few weeks ago and your tutorials are sooo good and really fun! I love your humor and energy, it just makes coding fun and exciting instead of intimidating and scary
Is it me or is the production value of this video just off the charts? It’s been a while since I’ve seen a coding train video and I’m pleasantly surprised

@@marcopeterson805 These characters exists from looooooooooong ago, they are original from ASCII extended. ALTGR +176, ALTGR+177,ALTGR+178, and ALTGR+219

you've inspired me to make my own processing style framework in C#! since i've started watching you i've grown quite a bit as a programmer, thank you for that! keep coding challenge!
Trying to render 3D objects ASCII-style would be pretty cool. Replicating Andy Sloane's spinning donut using JS would be an interesting coding challenge.
You can use pretty much the same code as in this video, just replace the camera input with your favoured method of capturing 3D objects. Either through rendering it to video, a series of stills or P5's built-in loadModel to load the .obj file directly (don't forget to switch it back to using Canvas and setting your canvas to WebGL if you use the latter).
One thing you could do to improve this is to improve the string storing the brightest to darkest characters so that the progression is more linear, rather than just random. Then it would line up with the linear nature of the algorithm which assigns the brightness of a pixel to the character in the string
Another great tutorial and coding challenge, I love watching these! I developed an image reader as my first year college co-op project with a company called ProGraph, and used the 'fixedsys' font to dump each image format to ASCII, as a test. FixedSys is a mono-spaced raster font, so you can count the actual pixels in each character to determine how much 'value' the character has based on the number pixels in the area that are white, and express it as a value from 0 (black, no pixels are white) to 255 (white, all pixels are white). You can quickly fill an array with 0 through 255 'values' that recreate black to white transitional brightness and do exactly what you did using the generated string of each 'pixel' pulled from the 'value' array.
your magic is to make watch me these 22 minutes even if I am not a coder or developer, to enjoy me, and to make me feel like I understand and I can do it by myself:)
Instead of using a non-breaking space you should use the presentation element, , this will preserve whitespace without adding the non-breaking part of nbsp.
As an alternative to replacing all of the spaces with nonbreaking space entities, you could set `white-space: pre;` in the CSS file, which would make all spaces render normally.
That’s exactly how I do it in the ASCII playground. The performance is really good (60FPS in fullscreen) until color is added (single chars wrapped in spans).
@@kirkanos771 I wrote an optional canvas renderer as well and it's faster but not by much, tbh. I finally also added a WebGL renderer which obviously is smooth no matter the amount of characters to display. But the point for me is to output text as “text“ - and not to render it on a pixel canvas.
I watch a p5.js video about making a ball bounce like 4/5 years ago. Today I am a IT-manage and Full Stack, with PHP and JS as my natives. This guy sparked something in me!
You could do something like "Coding Voyage"?! Voyage evokes a sense of exploration and adventure which is in tune with your theme, even if it is historically used for nautical expeditions and not train trips lol. Great video as always!
Really nice to see more of this format again, loved the original challenges and they are what got me hooked in the first place. Change is good though, and while I like the Coding Challenge name, they are more like journeys as you say. Confirmation bias at work I’m sure, but I really do like the name Coding Journey. Implicit in that name is the arrival at a destination, but Coding Destination doesn’t quite have the same ring. Besides, quite often it’s not the end result that matters, but more about how you get there. Coding Trip Coding Ride Coding Expedition Nah, I prefer Coding Journey, then you could title videos like “Coding Journey to ASCII town”, lol
The word 'coddiwomple' is such a delight: "To travel purposefully towards a vague destination". It suggest exploration and discovery. It allows to wander, to make mistakes and change your route as you please. For fun, make it 'Codiwomple', one 'd'. I'd like to see you codiwompling, you codiwompler. And after you have codiwompled, I'll have some fun codiwompling myself!
fun fact: i did ASCII art with a tutorial in blender using nodes (those who know about blender understand) and from that i made a donut with lighting adjustment and rotation. so i kinda understand the logic at first but idk the syntax or the code so i didnt make it the tutorial is from default cube
I’d love to see you create a script that detects the resolution of an input image/video and then fits that to a hilbert curve. It’s a much more efficient data structure
Dude, I love your videos! They are awesome! Also, I love your energy and your coding skills. OK, back to the topic!!! ASCII images are my favorite thing to do. I put that s#!t everywhere... Nothing better than a funny ASCII image after finishing a build or running a command! It makes things kinda starwarsy and leget!!! And let's not forget, these silly images boosts team morale (since we can't pay them more, why not I give them some ASCII images treats instead)? LOL, JK... They get paid enough... Anyway, keep on rocking man! I will put an ASCII images of you in my code as an easter egg (I do that from time to time in harmless code, like build scripts and such)
Should totally be Coding Collaborations.... cause the challenges so far haven't been "go away and code the same thing" it's been "go away and improve on my thing" .... to that end including going through other people's additions to your code (or even each other's code) would be amazing videos/followups for a second channel
I've been there for some of that (you even looked at my raytracing.... which I still need to work on) but I think they could be their own videos even going back to the earliest submissions Code diving random code is kinda vital for all coders teaching that would be great not just "cool effect" but "how does that work" kinda things Also I'm thinking about Steve Shives and his "not actually trek actually" videos where he puts in "even less effort" and does comment response stuff, doing that with code could be very interesting, it could be a lot less work to create that content but you probably can't do it with just any or every submission diving into some though would be great and drive people to the old challenges again
Great video! I've been inspired to get back into programming from your channel. Just one question.. How do I achieve your level of energy and enthusiasm?
Apologize as I am a newbie. Is it possible to uninstall the library that we install? Suppose I install library A and suddenly I found that library B is way better. I wonder if I could uninstall library A. Your answer is appreciated.
that density array seems wrong. There are bright characters at one end, and dark characters at the other, but in the middle it's just all the numbers in numerical order which I highly doubt is also the order of density.
I love this guy! Not as much as Tom MacDonald and Adam Calhoun love each other but there is still time... Thank you Dan for all the years of knowledge and happiness you bring into this world! Keep up the great work!
used to watch you for my new media arts class. i love how youre so enthusiastic! will continue keeping up with the stuff you post really appreciate what you do
I've found that in the past what is fun to do is write all of this in python. I don't use Processing at all, and I've watched a couple of your videos and written them in Python. The concepts is what I needed to understand, once that was done the code was pretty easy. Thanks for sharing this, and keep it "Coding Challenge" please.
I suggest "Coding Train Trip". A small trip down to a specific topic, similar to a one day trip, that usually has a time restraint. But let's be honest, you always stretch past the planned time window. So perfectly fitting.
Wow! The most incredible thing in this video is our capacity to see an image in this mess of characters kkkkkkk when you are stop, I cant see your glass, but when you move the head, to front and back, i can see perfectly a glass on your face! This is incredible in so many levels kkkkkk What a lucky to discover this channel! Hello from Brazil!
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Imagine if this was the only way to see people move due to hardware limitations. It would save a lot of space as it would use less variables but would get the same point across. It's like photomosaics.
A linear array of characters by density (brightness/darkness) is ok, but you can get much better pictures by doing sub-pixel rendering taking into account the shape of the character glyphs. One simple way to do this is to split each character into a 3x3 grid and matching the brightness of each sub-character so a diagonal line would match well with the forward slash: [0,0,255][0,255,0][255,0,0]
Def keep it 'Coding Challenge'. One can strive to overcome something and be collaborative/explorative - they are not mutually exclusive. Overcoming a challenge and growing as a result is a-OK in my books.
I think keeping 'Coding Challenge' is better. A challenge is different from everyone, to each their meaning and I love that. I would however make the case for removing the timer. :) Thank you for everything as always.
I'm studying logic and algorithms yet, and this channel is awesome. It will be a great way to train my skill in building project once I learn Python and Javascript. Thanks a lot.
I think a Coding Challenge is appropriate . after all we are challenging ourselves to understand the world of coding, pushing to the next level. just my opinion

I just want to say thank you for being so passionate about what you do. Your videos actually make me want to learn coding and replicate similar projects ❤️
Seen a few videos but this one enticed me to subscribe. Very nice idea. I remember the Fortran versions at Uni back in late 70s to make pinup posters.. Coding is still cool, even after 40 years.
Just my 2cents for Code or Coding Creations. It has taken many steps for each one of us to get this far. With the purpose of using our minds and imaginations thru code to build something. It also allows each one to be a one offs from each other or identically the same. We all have to be a bit of a mad scientist with the investments we need to apply and develop. In order to get the code to work. I vote for Creations .....

Also I'm thinking about Steve Shives and his "not actually trek actually" videos where he puts in "even less effort" and does comment response stuff, doing that with code could be very interesting, it could be a lot less work to create that content but you probably can't do it with just any or every submission diving into some though would be great and drive people to the old challenges again
I wasn’t here for quite some time (about 2 years or so now), and I’ve gotta say, the quality of these videos has improved a ton! Well done Daniel!
Oh wow, this is similar to a project I attempted called "picharsso". It has support for braille characters if you're into that
Oh cool! I would love to try something like that!! Any reference links?
@@TheCodingTrain Hey Dan! I’m having some issues with UA-cam comments with links, so I tweeted the link , mentioning the coding train handle! Cheers!
Man, I just discovered your channel yesterday. You give great ideas to mess around which CAN produce even greater ideas. Thank you for your videos.
Great video! I've been inspired to get back into programming from your channel. Just one question.. How do I achieve your level of energy and enthusiasm?
Really you want to sound like a total knob end?
@@shrimpoffthebarbie What does that even mean?
You can always try Cocaine.
Manh! this guys energy is on another level
Apologize as I am a newbie. Is it possible to uninstall the library that we install? Suppose I install library A and suddenly I found that library B is way better. I wonder if I could uninstall library A. Your answer is appreciated.
Neat! Awesome move at the end when you added a bunch of spaces to the brightness/character array; that really made it pop in an interesting way!
that density array seems wrong. There are bright characters at one end, and dark characters at the other, but in the middle it's just all the numbers in numerical order which I highly doubt is also the order of density.
I vote for Coding Conundrum. You present each video as a puzzle that needs to be solved.

no need of
I love this guy! Not as much as Tom MacDonald and Adam Calhoun love each other but there is still time... Thank you Dan for all the years of knowledge and happiness you bring into this world! Keep up the great work!
19 seconds ago wow!
5 minutes ago, pogers!
used to watch you for my new media arts class. i love how youre so enthusiastic! will continue keeping up with the stuff you post really appreciate what you do
Also, I hate clickbait thumbnails so much. Nowhere in this video is that thumbnail.
I've found that in the past what is fun to do is write all of this in python. I don't use Processing at all, and I've watched a couple of your videos and written them in Python. The concepts is what I needed to understand, once that was done the code was pretty easy. Thanks for sharing this, and keep it "Coding Challenge" please.
I love hearing this!
I suggest "Coding Train Trip". A small trip down to a specific topic, similar to a one day trip, that usually has a time restraint. But let's be honest, you always stretch past the planned time window. So perfectly fitting.
This is my first time messing with java, ty for helping me make my christmas gifts for my family this year!
Wow! The most incredible thing in this video is our capacity to see an image in this mess of characters kkkkkkk when you are stop, I cant see your glass, but when you move the head, to front and back, i can see perfectly a glass on your face! This is incredible in so many levels kkkkkk
What a lucky to discover this channel! Hello from Brazil!
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Imagine if this was the only way to see people move due to hardware limitations. It would save a lot of space as it would use less variables but would get the same point across. It's like photomosaics.
Wow , just wow , you are a great teacher I have ever seen! Exelent 👏
A linear array of characters by density (brightness/darkness) is ok, but you can get much better pictures by doing sub-pixel rendering taking into account the shape of the character glyphs. One simple way to do this is to split each character into a 3x3 grid and matching the brightness of each sub-character so a diagonal line would match well with the forward slash: [0,0,255][0,255,0][255,0,0]
Def keep it 'Coding Challenge'. One can strive to overcome something and be collaborative/explorative - they are not mutually exclusive. Overcoming a challenge and growing as a result is a-OK in my books.
i love to see your progression over the years
I don't even follow the content anymore(great content btw). I am just here for the positive energy! Daniel is my antidepressant
I think keeping 'Coding Challenge' is better. A challenge is different from everyone, to each their meaning and I love that.
I would however make the case for removing the timer. :) Thank you for everything as always.
I'm studying logic and algorithms yet, and this channel is awesome. It will be a great way to train my skill in building project once I learn Python and Javascript. Thanks a lot.
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
I think a Coding Challenge is appropriate . after all we are challenging ourselves to understand the world of coding, pushing to the next level. just my opinion
coding adventure!!! What the heck, coding journey, exploratory coding, are also chill
You always bring joy to my heart, and knowledge to my mind. Thank you. You're awesome.
That might be the coolest thing you've done so far, nice
the editing on this and the little gags on the screen are great. awesome video!
honestly, coolest thing I've seen in a while.
I absolutely love your videos. You taught me how to code by actually giving me examples and problems to solve and everything. I just really appreciate your content. Keep on inspiring :D
Coding Quest!
Got that alliteration that makes any name a memorable one.
I just want to say thank you for being so passionate about what you do. Your videos actually make me want to learn coding and replicate similar projects ❤️
New to your channel and can't stop binge watching! It's more of "Coding task accomplished"
Seen a few videos but this one enticed me to subscribe.
Very nice idea. I remember the Fortran versions at Uni back in late 70s to make pinup posters..
Coding is still cool, even after 40 years.
Everyday i just enter the video
Watch the first 30 secs and leave
It's beautiful ❤️
Just my 2cents for Code or Coding Creations. It has taken many steps for each one of us to get this far. With the purpose of using our minds and imaginations thru code to build something. It also allows each one to be a one offs from each other or identically the same. We all have to be a bit of a mad scientist with the investments we need to apply and develop. In order to get the code to work. I vote for Creations .....
Dude, if you haven't been on Sesame Street yet? It's a crying shame. You remind me, of that, and Mr. Rogers. Best memories of my childhood. You, are a natural and I'm convinced you could make ANYTHING fun. Good vibes, good times. Thanks!
