Features

• Convert images to ASCII art: Transform any image into an ASCII version with customizable scaling and optional color inversion.
• Support for multiple image formats: asC supports multiple image formats, making it versatile for different use cases.

Usage

To use asC, run the following command in your terminal:

asC <image_file> [options]

Example

Here’s a simple example of how to use asC:

asC guts_berserker_armor.jpg -r 0.5 -i > someFile.txt

In this example:

• The image located at guts_berserker_armor.jpg is converted to an ASCII representation and printed to the terminal.
• The output is scaled to 50% of the original size.
• The colors are inverted to improve visibility.
• <OPTIONAL>: > puts the output of the terminal to a file.

Improvement

I am planning on improving this with the following features:

• Video support
• GIF support
• Edge detection and styled representation
