I had nothing better to do and was looking for an easy project to realise, idea from Deque, thanks!
As always, take from it what you want, use it how you like.

What an ugly bowl of spaghetti. The font looks pretty similar to Figlet, too.

Try to think of a more elegant and structured way to achieve this than sloppy brute-force substitution, as it is now.

Whenever you catch yourself writing repetitive code all over the place your allarm bells should ring.
There is this rule (I don't know who invented it) that says: If you repeat something three times or more, refactor it.
You are repeating - well - much more.
As I told you on HC you may look at some similar codes there to get ideas.

Thanks for your feedback aswell Deque!
I'm aware that this way is very repetetive, I didn't know of a better way to do it.
I'll give the other people's code a read.
