Hey guys,
So some time ago I wanted to try this myself, and got stuck quite fast and today I actually did create what I wanted back then meaning that I have definitely improved in programming. And I saw that it would be a fun little challenge for those willing to try.
What you have to do for this challenge is create a console application, and write code that will draw, something like a smiley face or anything you want, using *.
However this challenge of course bring somethings with it, I want it to pretend like it’s actually being drawn so it doesn’t immediately pop-up on screen. Furthermore you are not allowed to just write every single character, it still needs to be somewhat efficient 😉
I’m looking forward to seeing your solutions, mine is posted below, although I do recommend only watching it when you’ve finished, gotta keep it fun am I right? 😀
