Have you tried doing colored unicode art in this thing's text editor?

It apparently only works with the given hexcolor values, but it's great for creating Tetris art. This may look weird before you click on the question:

I believe, noone has ever attempted this here.

And now the floodgates have opened.

@SW-User It's actually REALLY easy to make it once you know the trick.
Assign each of the 20 colors a letter.

Go to Notepad++ (because of the way its font is structured so things line up)

Have a reference to what you want to make (Tetris is super easy since that's all grid anyway)

Type things out like such:

TXXXXXXXXX
TTXXXXXXXX
TXXXXXXXXX
XXZZXXXXXX
XXXZZXXXXX
JJXTIIIILL
JXXTTIIIIL
JZXTSSTJJL
ZZXSSTTJLL
ZXXSZZTJIL
OOXSSZZLIL
OOXJSLLLIJ
SXXJJJOOIJ
SSITZZOOJJ
LSXTTZZTTT
LXXTZIOOTI
LLXZZIOOII
JJXZZIOOII
JXXZZIOOII
JTXZSSSSIL

Do Ctrl + F and go to Replace. For every letter you have coded, run a replace all with the respective letter that corresponds to a color, with the unicode symbol █ inside the markup code for the colors provided, for all of your letter-color codes. Be sure to remember line breaks and to have word wrap turned off.

Copy and paste into here.

Enjoy. LOL

This is why you want to use Notepad or Notepad++

See how the other doesn't line up but this does? It makes things easier.

@TetrisGuy Hah, yeah, I totally see how easy it would be!
