A Ruby gem to convert images into ASCII for your awesome command-line applications.
This is my first Ruby gem
This gem relies on RMagick, so you will need to ensure you install the prerequisites (ImageMagick).
Install in your terminal with:
gem install ascii-image
Or in your Gemfile:
gem 'ascii-image'
Convert an image to ASCII and print it using 20 columns of the console:
ascii = ASCII_Image.new("~/my_image.jpg")
ascii.build(20)
or open the image from the web:
ascii = ASCII_Image.new("http://www.levihackwith.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/github-logo.png")
ascii.build(60)
