[Cadastre](https://github.com/jmdejong/cadastre) stitches together plots of "land" that users on a tilde server control. Ultimately creating one giant ascii town.
For example, consider one user has the following in `~/.cadastre/home.txt`:
```
0 0
####################
# ________ #
# /~\__\___\ #
# | | | | ,,,, #
# ,,,,, #
# ~~~~~ ,,,,, #
# ~~~~~ _ #
# ~~~~~ (*) #
# ~deepend | #
# #
####################
```
While another user has:
```
0 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
Then the stitched together town will be:
```
#################### ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# ________ # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# /~\__\___\ # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# | | | | ,,,, # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# ,,,,, # ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# ~~~~~ ,,,,, # ~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
# ~~~~~ _ # ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~
# ~~~~~ (*) # ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
# ~deepend | # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#################### ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
```
Ascii art is something that always interested me, but I never took the time to make. Cadastre limits us to 24x12 characters which serves as a good starting canvas for myself.
You might be able to tell, but I'm a big fan of mountains.
