I'd help, but the error messages Node is giving me aren't very helpful (at least for me):

D:\Downloads\image-to-ascii>npm test

> node test/index.js


events.js:72

That's because currently imagemagick is required. We have to find another alternative for imagemagick, like #2 says.

[IonicaBizau]

@ComFreek Check if this problem was fixed after merging #5 (version 1.0.0).

After installing GraphicsMagick it runs at least.

PS D:\Downloads\image-to-ascii>

The latter output actually seems very acceptable, but only on GitHub. That is to say the window's dimensions are incorrectly calculated.

[IonicaBizau]

Wow! Cool! 😄

[ComFreek]

@IonicaBizau I think you missed my edit :)

[IonicaBizau]

Can you post a screenshot with colored: false?

var ImageToAscii = require("../lib/index");

ImageToAscii({
    path: __dirname + "/octocat.png"
  , colored: false
}, function(err, converted) {
    console.log(err || converted);
});

It seems that the issue is almost fixed, colors being unsupported right now.

[ComFreek]

Yeah, it works! :)

I tried using ansicon to no avail, however.
