ansiart

Collection of ansi-color ascii-art tools and creations (using Pygame and Colorama!)

terminal_reader.py

terminal-reader asks for a file and transform it into a .txt and a .aas (ansi art save)
Can also be called by another python file

nearest_detector.py

nearest_detector is the one doing the transformation
it calls Pygame
it is called in terminal_reader for example
It transforms an image with colored ▄▀█▓▒░ but it has problems with shades (I should do some research about merging and comparing two colors).

charamatrix.py

Charamatrix is the class containing the informations.
It can do exporting .txt/.aas and loading .aas

lists.names.py

An example on how to use it with multiple images.
Please edit before using, as the file names are hard-coded.

###Animal card maker Takes the card base and inserts 16x16 animal and foods pngs in it to make an ANSIART card.
(Can insert name or not)
Using nearest_detector.py (colored ▄▀█▓▒░) + characters for the name

Basic BWreader

Takes an inage in input and outputs a PASTEABLE grayscale image with ▄▀█▓▒░#─
It needs to be input the precise colors to recognise them. This means the original image needs to be converted to 5-colors grayscale! It squishes two vertical pixels into one character.

Cards maker

Same as animal card, except it doesn't take images, but makes a set of ANSIART cards with Diamonds, Hearts, Spades and Spikes.
Does not produce Jake, Queen, Kings or Jokers (maybe with Animal card maker). Using nearest_detector.py (colored ▄▀█▓▒░) + special characters ♥♦♣♠

Color Reader for forums

Takes an image and transforms it into block art with color BBCODE FOR FORUMS USE (usually too heavy to post).
Only uses ▄▀█─ with [color=#ff5959]▀▄▄[/color] markers

Examples

Some small png images converted to ANSIART trough nearest_detector.py

Image to uniChar

Using more weird unicode characters, tries to transform a black-and-white image into a black-and-white unicode shape made up of characters.
Algorithm is not very good (counts how many pixels are the same between two possibilities). Uses PIL

Irma animation

Four-images animation and python script to read it.

Nearest BWreader

Same as Basic BWreader
Takes an inage in input and outputs a PASTEABLE grayscale image with ▄▀█▓▒░#─
It is not working well, it is not using luminance but RBG mean to try to guess and approach colors. No need to convert the original image! Well, better convert it anyway to make it look better.
It squishes two vertical pixels into one character.
