Ever wanted to convert gifs to text and then back into gifs again?
Ever wanted to stream your webcam into your terminal as text?
Me neither.
But now I can!
Should work with py2 or py3, on both Linux and Windows.
Install with pip to make sure you get the dependencies.
$ git clone https://github.com/derricw/asciisciit.git
$ cd asciisciit
$ pip install .
You can also install from pypi.
$ pip install asciisciit
Convert a gif to ascii and render it back to gif in 8 point font:
$ asciit dealwithit.gif ascii_render.gif -p 8
Display webcam feed from camera 0 in a new terminal, with histogram equalization:
$ asciit -w 0 --n --e
Play a video file in a new terminal, scale to 0.15 characters per pixel, display at 24 fps:
$ asciit cats.mp4 -s 0.15 --n -f 24.0
You can even use URLs.
$ asciit https://media.giphy.com/media/bn0zlGb4LOyo8/giphy.gif cage.gif --e -s 0.6 -f 8
>>> from asciisciit import AsciiImage
>>> img = AsciiImage("my_img.png", scalefactor=0.2)
>>> print(img)
>>> img.render("output.png", fontsize=8, bg_color=(20,20,20), fg_color=(255,255,255))
>>> from asciisciit import AsciiMovie
>>> gif = AsciiMovie("my_gif.gif", scalefactor=0.2)
>>> gif.play(fps=15.0) #play at 15 fps
>>> gif.render("ouput.gif", fps=15.0, fontsize=8)
>>> from asciisciit import AsciiMovie
>>> movie = AsciiMovie("my_movie.avi", scalefactor=0.2)
>>> movie.play(fps=24.0)
>>> movie.render("output.avi", fps=24.0, fontsize=8) # requires ffmpeg
