turn-image-to-ascii

takes a provided image and makes a .txt file with the image drawn in ascii characters

examples:

original image:

basic ascii table:

flat ascii table:

dependencies:

you need pillow which comes with python 3 as far as im aware but it gave me problems so if it does it to you try running the install command again (this is for linux):

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow

how to use:

first type chmod +x imageToAscii to the file, you can just use python3 to run it but this is more comfotrable then type the following command into the terminal and you get a file as an output:

imageToAscii size_of_ascii_image /optional_path_to_file/name_of_file /optional_path_to_file/name_of_output_file

side note:

while this technically works on windows it dosent draw the image correctly and for now i cant fix it, but hopefuly you can fix it

tested on: fedora 36, android.
