**Descent** 
Custom software, Javascript, WebGL
Variable dimensions, silent

Mostly downwards, mostly gray. 

Descent is an attempt to represent depth using only characters from the code page 437 (CP437 for short, or extended ASCII).  
The viewer is taken on an infinite journey along a column made of characters; the characters lose their original meaning and become shapes, structure.  


**Keys**
```
i  toggle info
 change scale
n  toggle noise/glitch
s  toggle shading
f  toggle colors
p  save 1 .png image
P  save 4 .png image
t  save 2d scene as .txt file
v  save voxel data as .txt file
c  hide cursor
f  enter fullscreen
```

Some visual settings can be set or changed through URL parameters; especially values for scale and fps will help adapt the project to different display sizes by adjusting character height and playback speed.
