Would a .BAS File also be ok as an entry ?

Yes, that's no problem.
If you do something totally "out of order" it would go to the Wild category.

Only a few days left to go. ⌚
So, if you'd like to participate, now would be a good time to finish your AMSCII art... 👈

🙏 Thanks to all those who already took part

Doesn't the A in ASCII mean Amstrad?

Actually ASCII means American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Amstrad ASCII would mean Amstrad American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
That's why in my mind AMSCII would not be that bad: AMstrad Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Although, AMSCII is not really official.
