Thanks, the only ANSI I ever did, ages ago, was a Christmas tree with blinking
 ornaments. It was about half screen size and if memory serves, it came in at
 around 300 - 400 bytes, quite important in those times when 2400 baud modems
 were considered lightning fast! The sysop of a local BBS put that little ANSI
 thingy on his login screen at that time  :-)    (You can easily write the html
 equivalent with the blinking Netscape tag, not sure whether MSIE will
 recognize that tag, but then, I have already seen many similar gifs)

I am having fun with interactivity these days. You may have noticed that static
 cartoons require quite a few castmembers, well over two dozen castmembers for
 telling those little stories _about_ the 'steins. Movies and animations, in
 which the 'steins do those crazy things _to each other_, require only half the
 cast, i.e. about a dozen castmembers. Now, with interactivity, it is the
 viewer/player who does crazy things with the castmembers, s/he is actually
 half of the cast, and for the dozen little games that I produced sofar, I used
 less than a half dozen castmembers ... simplification!

Simplicity is the underlying principle that I like about ascii, ansi, vt100 and
 what have you, just empower them with state-of-the-art technology! I am glad
 that you are putting effort along these lines as well!
