Here is my python source code for ASCII generator. with my code, you could:

• Given input image, you could generate ASCII art stored under text format (.txt)
• Given input image, you could generate ASCII art stored under image formats (.png, .jpg, ...). In each format, there are 2 options: Black background and white characters, or vice versa
• Given input video, you could generate ASCII art stored under video formats (.avi, .mp4, ...)
• Video/image outputs could be in grayscale or color format. It is totally up to you

By running the sript video2video_color.py or video2video.py with different values for background and mode, we will have different outputs, for example:

Colored complex-character ASCII output

White-background simple-character ASCII output

By running the sript img2txt.py with different values for mode, we will have following outputs:

Input image

Simple character ASCII output

Complex character ASCII output

By running the sript img2img_color.py or img2img.py with different values for background and mode, we will have following outputs:

Input image

Colored complex-character ASCII output

White-background simple-character ASCII output

Black-background simple-character ASCII output

White-background complex-character ASCII output

Black-background complex-character ASCII output
