This is one of the good puzzles :) . I am going to try it out. Meanwhile, if you can do this - Try converting your text to bitmap image (hold that image into memory - don't write it to disk) Use that image and try converting that image to ASCII art and see the magic. I am going to follow this approach and will try to work on that.

Hi i just try to that direct way.... using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace testingfornew { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string strname = "papa"; strname = strname.ToUpper(); int intlength; intlength = strname.Length; for (int i = 0; i { char chrletter = strname[i]; if (chrletter == 'P') { Console.WriteLine("*****
"); Console.WriteLine("* *
"); Console.WriteLine("*****
"); Console.WriteLine("* 
"); Console.WriteLine("* "); Console.WriteLine("
"); } if (chrletter == 'A') { Console.WriteLine("*****
"); Console.WriteLine("* *
"); Console.WriteLine("*****
"); Console.WriteLine("* *
"); Console.WriteLine("* *"); Console.WriteLine("
"); } } Console.ReadLine(); } } }

using System; namespace StarName { class Program { static void Main( string []args) { Stringname=Console.ReadLine(); Int32Chars=name.Length; String[][]starAlphas= new String[Chars][]; for (Int32c=0;c { starAlphas[c]=StarAlpha.RenderAlpha(StarAlpha.GetStarAlpha(Char.ToUpper(name[c]))); } String[]line= new String[5]; for (Int32c=0;c { for (Int32l=0;l { line[l]+=starAlphas[c][l]+ "" ; } } for (Int32l=0;l { Console.WriteLine(line[l]); } Console.ReadKey(); } } public class StarAlpha { public static Boolean[,]GetStarAlpha(CharAlpha) { Boolean[,]rv= new Boolean[5,5]; Int32ascii=Char.ConvertToUtf32(Alpha.ToString(),0); switch (ascii) { case 65: //A rv[0,2]= true ; rv[1,1]= true ; rv[1,3]= true ; rv[2,0]= true ; rv[2,1]= true ; rv[2,2]= true ; rv[2,3]= true ; rv[2,4]= true ; rv[3,0]= true ; rv[3,4]= true ; rv[4,0]= true ; rv[4,4]= true ; break ; case 73: //I rv[0,0]= true ; rv[0,1]= true ; rv[0,2]= true ; rv[0,3]= true ; rv[0,4]= true ; rv[1,2]= true ; rv[2,2]= true ; rv[3,2]= true ; rv[4,0]= true ; rv[4,1]= true ; rv[4,2]= true ; rv[4,3]= true ; rv[4,4]= true ; break ; case 78: //N rv[0,0]= true ; rv[0,4]= true ; rv[1,0]= true ; rv[1,1]= true ; rv[1,4]= true ; rv[2,0]= true ; rv[2,2]= true ; rv[2,4]= true ; rv[3,0]= true ; rv[3,3]= true ; rv[3,4]= true ; rv[4,0]= true ; rv[4,4]= true ; break ; case 84: //T rv[0,0]= true ; rv[0,1]= true ; rv[0,2]= true ; rv[0,3]= true ; rv[0,4]= true ; rv[1,2]= true ; rv[2,2]= true ; rv[3,2]= true ; rv[4,2]= true ; break ; } return rv; } public static String[]RenderAlpha(Boolean[,]Alpha) { String[]rv= new String[Alpha.GetLength(0)]; for (Int32i=0;i { rv[i]=String.Empty; for (Int32j=0;j { rv[i]+=Alpha[i,j]? "*" : "" ; } } return rv; } } } I have so far implemented only NITIN, that is my name (and simple enough as well). All you have to do is implement each character. Formatting is messed up, so here is a file.

Hi, Looks good but difficult to answer.

Looks like a home-work assignment. But interesting one, anyway. The first thing comes to mind is an array of two dimension arrays. Each 2d array to store where to show star and where to keep it blank. May be just 0s and 1s. Start container array with 0 and after reading each entered char find it's ascii value and use that - 65 as an index. For example: Capital A has ascii value 65 so 65 - 65 = 0 which is first element in container array. For simplicity, first convert all chars to upper.
