Thanks for the link - after trying a few different ascii art programs, the one you linked to is the one I ended up using. The original images do need to be cleaned up first - that's what I'm working on now. I've finished about 80 images, all public domain/free to use. It's a slow process, but I'm hoping to get around 200 puzzles if possible, like I had in the first version of the game.

The good news is that I'm able to process the images for ASCIItude and the new game (which right now is called "pXL") at the same time. So it's taking a little longer but I'm getting assets for both games. Luckily, a puzzle for ASCIItude looks completely different from the same puzzle for pXL after processing the same image, so each game will look and hopefully play uniquely.

I'm planning to start another thread for pXL later today or tomorrow, when I have some more code to show. It's actually pretty simple stuff.
