ASCII art CAPTCHA
Posted by soxofaan on September 19, 2007 at 8:18am
Hello all,
Yesterday I added a new CAPTCHA type to CAPTCHA Pack: ASCII art CAPTCHA. In this CAPTCHA the user is challenged with something like this:
888888ba 88888888b 888888ba 88888888b 88 `8b 88 88 `8b 88 a88aaaa8P' .d8888b. a88aaaa a88aaaa8P' a88aaaa dP dP 88 `8b. 88ooood8 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88. ... 88 88 88 88. .88 dP dP `88888P' 88888888P dP 88888888P `88888P'
or this:
__ __ ____ __ __ _____ ___
_ __ ___ \ \ / / | _ \ \ \/ / |_ _| / _ \
| '_ ` _ \ \ \ /\ / / | |_) | \ / | | | (_) |
| | | | | | \ V V / | _ < / \ | | \__, |
|_| |_| |_| \_/\_/ |_| \_\ /_/\_\ |_| /_/
More than 20 fonts are included (based on the font definitions from http://www.figlet.org/).
I expect this to be a hard one for the spam bots to solve.
Tell me what you think.
PS. It's currently only available in the development snapshot, not yet in the official release.
PS2. the CAPTCHA for submitting this story sucks, especially because I previewed it several times.
Would ASCII art comics be supported?

From the Just-when-you-thought-of-everything department:
Would the webcomic module be flexible enough to support a text area for a fixed-width font instead of an image?
