There's a library and a bunch of apps for *nix called aalib, look for it on
freshmeat or icewalkers, or at a sunsite mirror. On faster machines it can
render stuff realtime, there's a demo that fills your screen with
real-time-rendered ascii fire. The *nix X-Windows rendering appy XaoS can
render fractals in ascii using aalib as well.
