I’ve been working on something similar - embedding pixel art as ASCII with some JavaScript to render it as images:

Oh nice! Love that you color the characters in the editor appropriately as well, that makes working with it a lot easier. Would it be possible to have space be #00000000 by default?

Thanks for trying this out! That’s a good idea! For now, you can manually specify “ :#00000000” in the top section.

One reason I’ve been using “.” as the background in my own PCEImages so far is so it’s easy to see that all the lines are the right width.
