ANSI art screen using Amiga's Pot-Noodle font. It has a starry sky of light blue dots and stars on dark blue background, with the Ursa Minor constellation in white color and its Polaris star surrounded by a red rhombus. There is a diagonal stripe with black background starting from the top left corner down to the center-bottom, with the text “POLAR” in regular letters, and “STAR” in bigger, rectilinear letters. At the bottom left corner there's a poor rendition of the MSX logo.

It was fun making some #ANSI art yesterday, so I figured... why not chill a bit this evening doing the same thing? Not knowing well what to do, I decided to make a starry sky screen about Polar Star, the one game I probably played the most as a kid with my father's old Sony HB-75 #MSX computer. This one was made with Durdraw on Linux, with a terminal configured to use the Topaz-Unicode font; then converted with ANSILove to PNG using the Pot-Noodle font.- Polar Star: https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/hyo-kin-soft/polar-star/release/317/- Durdraw: https://durdraw.org- Topaz Unicode font: https://gitlab.com/Screwtapello/topaz-unicode- ANSILove: https://www.ansilove.org
