It's appears to be limiting itself to just 2. This really cuts down on the level of detail (even though it's just plain ANSI) What would be more interesting in addition to the full range of characters is if it could generate the ANSI file to go along with it that would run on renegade or other BBS's. For some really impressive ASCII animation, do a search for "the matrix ascii". It's just black & white text, but you'll see the extra number of characters available really give impressive results.
