[Tutor] Fwd: Learning python using Michael Dawson's book

[Joseph Gulizia]

I posted this two days ago (I thought to the list...but apparently not).
I'm hopeful it helps in some way.



I have the same book.

Using a text editor and the underscore and dash keys and a few others...the
program example is creating an ASCII art version on the words "Game Over".

Type it manually probably means to type it out...NOT use copy and paste.

Can't get it to work probably means....it doesn't display properly (as the
book shows).

What needs to be done is he needs to play with the spacing of the characters
and different keys to get the "letters" drawn to display closer to the
book's example.
