Drawing and Animating ASCII Art in C# Console

This is sample code for drawing ASCII art character in C# console.

Things to keep in mind :

• Replace the variable var with any ASCII art you want to get drawn in console. 
• Take care of [@],["] and [,] while replacing.

using System;

namespace Dotned.UI.Framework
{
    public class Arbit
    {
       
        public static void Main(String[] Args)
        {
            var arr = new[]
            {
                    @"      /$$$$$$                                      /$$     /$$       /$$                          ",
                    @"      /$$__  $$                                    | $$    | $$      |__/                         ",
                    @"     | $$  \__/  /$$$$$$  /$$$$$$/$$$$   /$$$$$$  /$$$$$$  | $$$$$$$  /$$ /$$$$$$$   /$$$$$$      ", 
                    @"     |  $$$$$$  /$$__  $$| $$_  $$_  $$ /$$__  $$|_  $$_/  | $$__  $$| $$| $$__  $$ /$$__  $$     ", 
                    @"      \____  $$| $$  \ $$| $$ \ $$ \ $$| $$$$$$$$  | $$    | $$  \ $$| $$| $$  \ $$| $$  \ $$     ", 
                    @"      /$$  \ $$| $$  | $$| $$ | $$ | $$| $$_____/  | $$ /$$| $$  | $$| $$| $$  | $$| $$  | $$     ", 
                    @"     |  $$$$$$/|  $$$$$$/| $$ | $$ | $$|  $$$$$$$  |  $$$$/| $$  | $$| $$| $$  | $$|  $$$$$$$     ", 
                    @"      \______/  \______/ |__/ |__/ |__/ \_______/   \___/  |__/  |__/|__/|__/  |__/ \____  $$     ", 
                    @"                                                                                    /$$  \ $$     ",
                    @"                                                                                   |  $$$$$$/     ", 
                    @"                                                                                    \______/      ",           
            };
            Console.WindowWidth = 160;
            Console.WriteLine("\n\n");
            foreach(string line in arr )
                Console.WriteLine(line);
            Console.ReadKey();

        }
    }
}

Above code will simply display ASCII art into console. To add animation , one sample code you can find below , All you need to do again is , replace var with you own ASCII var.
