Youtube Video to Coloured ASCII Art (Almost real-time)
Looking for a good Open Source image to ASCII art conversion software or library.
Real-time ascii art generator
If anyone is looking for a handy online ASCII Text Generator - I have been using TAAG for a while - lots of fonts and super easy to add to any batch file. Just thought I would share.
What is the best width for ASCII art?
What file types are supported?
Does my image get uploaded to a server?
Videos
This project was written in python, it's basically a way of turning any video into ASCII art. It takes a youtube video input and renders every image into a folder. Once rendered into a folder a couple of threads will be set out to convert each image into ASCII art and then deleting it. The art is added to a queue and a separate thread handles showing each image on a terminal. This has not been tested for windows but will soon. My knowledge of python is not at a beginner stage but I don't fully know if this is intermediate or not, please let me know so I can change the flag accordingly.
The reason this is almost real-time is that the frames are being rendered as the video is going along but the images were rendered ahead of time so I don't know if it counts or not. You can see in the examples that there is a buffer of about 300 frames which stays somewhat constant.
Here's a link to the source code: https://github.com/NexInfinite/videotoascii
