ascii_gen

A script to generate basic colorful ASCII art from Images.

Working

The code has ample comments documenting it.

Basically, it maps each 8x8 window of pixels of the image to the character which is most similar to that window.

The code has enough comments to get you going, I recommend starting out with chars/chars.go and then move to the main() function in main.go.

Running/Installing

  • clone this repo
  • go get github.com/nfnt/resize (Required for resizing the image to suitable dimensions)
  • go run main.go /path/to/image.jpeg

PS: I am developing this mainly to learn Go, I do not have any considerable experience in writing Go (or ASCII generators for that matter). Please feel free to point out issues in the code, style, or anything in general !
