Turn any image into ascii art!
This is a small command line application that turns images into ascii art. Written in rust, it is fast and easy to build with cargo.
First, you'll need an installation of rust. After installing rust, clone this reposity and build the application using cargo
$ git clone https://github.com/edelsonc/asciify
$ cd asciify
$ cargo build --release
A new directory named target will be created, with a release directory. Your executable will be there.
An example image and output are provided above as pixel_house.gif and pixel_house.txt.
The example was created using the following
$ asciify pixel_house.gif -s 200 100 > pixel_house.txt
This leverages the -s flag, which resized the image. Additionally, note that the example is very large. You may have to zoom out to prevent line wrapping.
