ASCII Art Generator

Four deterministic patterns, no font table required -- each shape falls out of a short formula over row/column indices. Pick a pattern and a size (1-32, sierpinski wants a power of two) and Generate adds it to the gallery below.

Patterns

• diamond -- filled diamond, half-width size
• pyramid -- solid triangle, size rows tall
• sierpinski -- Sierpinski gasket in an n×n grid (row & col == 0), size a power of two
• checker -- n×n checkerboard

Call Generate(pattern, size). View a piece at this realm's path plus its ID (e.g. .../asciiart:3).
