simple script that converts images and videos to ASCII for your viewing, right in your terminal of choice!

Supports colour where there is 24-bit colour support, and runs at about 30fps, however your mileage may vary depending on terminal, hardware etc

I didn't tell you this but if you comment out the time.sleep() you could probably get 60fps, just saying...

This should work on most versions of Python 3, and most modern terminals Just run

pip install -r requirements.txt

main.py [file] [-args]

-c runs the script with colour support, can be buggy with buffering sometimes

-f uses an alternative, larger set of ASCII characters

feel free to fork, star, do whatever! This was a fun 3 hour project
