Just wrote an image to ascii art converter

Starred immediatly. I was needing something like this for a loooong time, thank you :) i will raise issues if i find some bugs, beware.

To improve it you could either use the brightness of each pixel to determine a ASCII mapping, for darker pixel, use a character that filled in more, or you could computer gradiants for small sets of pixels like 3x3 and use a character that follows the gradiants as best as possible. Would make for more interesting results.

Edit: looks like you might be using the brightness approach?

@Floydian i like the way you think ;)

@hexc will look into the things you mentioned. Currently my approach is pretty basic, I use opencv to get a matrix of different pixel colors. After that i map the most frequent colors to a symbol. There is additional logic to combine colors that are similar like red and maroon, so they are assigned the same symbol.

Can it do this?

@py2js do you mean this?

@JSSaini07 nope. All distorted and not even in correct shape, also I want to coloured one.

@py2js color is pretty easy to include (will do this), Also distortion is due to force fitting it into terminal space.

I’ll give you 5 internet points if you can write that in JS.

@BM32 hahaha, will give it a try!

@BM32 5 ? Damn i must find this old old repo 😵

I NEEDED THIS
