Ruby 2.0

I suppose no one else wanted to do this, but...

Set your terminal's font to 2px in size, maximize the window (I used a
term in nt-emacs), and run this on the command line (This used the DOS
flavor; ymmv). It tickled me pink...

ruby -le"256.times{|y|print' '*(255-y),(0..y).map{|x|~y&x>0?' .':' A'}}"

DOS is too dumb to understand single quotes... :frowning:

Try,

ruby -le"32.times{|y|print' '*(31-y),(0..y).map{|x|~y&x>0?' .':' A'}}"
