Print an ASCII-fied version of any image in the console.
This app was built with NodeJS. It uses Jimp to grab image data, then calculates the brightness, luminance, or lightness of each pixel and logs it to your console as an ASCII character.
git clone https://github.com/crankysparrow/console-ASCII-art
cd console-ASCII-art
npm install
Once everything, is cloned and installed, make sure you're in the project directory and type npm run ascii followed by the path to your image file and, optionally, the function you want to use to measure each pixel.
npm run ascii path/to/your/image.jpg [ function ]
The function argument can be luminance, brightness, lightness, or left blank.
This works best with images featuring a subject against a white or very light background.
npm run ascii ../images/bun.jpg luminance
