Back at ye old 6th-grade neopets, I discovered something known as a "signature pet." A little animal picture you made using text and symbols. I thought it was a cute idea. Has anyone else heard of these?

For an example, I give you my age-old sig pet:

So, loyal subjects of t3h 1n54n17y b04rd, whaddya think? Should we start a fad?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Signature Pets: A beginner's guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To begin with, signature pets are representations of animals made using text and symbols in a particular order. These "sig pets," though simple, can be tons of fun! Starting with the most basic of them, you can change them in your own way to make startlingly complex little critters.

MAKING YOUR FIRST SIG PET:

Signature pets can range from mind-numbingly simple to brain-boilingly complicated. To start out with, I'll show you how to create a simple bunny.

first we need to know the features we wish to include. Bunnies' most noticable physical attributes include: big ears, wiskers, big hind legs and feet, and small facial features. So, using these we can begin to construct a simple bunny:

(Y)
=('.')=
(")uu(")

Now, you'll notice that those don't line up very well. It looks like our poor little bunny had it's ears cut off! This can be solved with very basic coding:

CODE

[center][b](Y)
=('.')=
(")uu(")[/b][/center]

makes our little bunny look like this:

(Y)
=('.')=
(")uu(")

(more to follow, gotta go run errands now)

Far better now I would say.

I think I might make an army of them, or maybe set up a stall. Meh:

Rofl you're right, if you squint hard and stand on one foot and shout, "Buhba!"
