That's so awesome. I can't believe this exists. How did they make it?

It should be noted that the Star Wars asciimation guy also did the thoroughly awesome Jet Powered Beer Cooler using a jet engine built in his shed (in NZ) to chill his guinness to a respectable 2c, of which I am in awe.

Oh my God he made it in a simple text editor using copy and paste. Mind blown.
