## bmp2asc
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
Super simple bmp bitmap to ascii converter.
|
|
Wrote this in one night for funzies as kind of a proof-of-concept/
|
|
educational thing.
|
|
|
|
(There's things out there that do this better, like chafa:
|
|
https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa)
|
|
|
|
It's a single cpp file with no libs used / no dependencies
|
|
other than a functional c++17 compiler.
|
|
|
|
### How it works
|
|
|
|
Basically, it splits the image up in a bunch of smaller
|
|
character-sized images, and then for each of those, it
|
|
tries to find which character matches it best, by looking
|
|
at the percentage of matches in a bitmask.
|
|
|
|
The code right now assumes black is the background/alpha
|
|
color, you can change that by just editing the source.
|
|
|
|
### How to build it
|
|
|
|
g++ -O3 -o bmp2asc --std=c++17 bmp2asc.cpp
|
|
|
|
### How to use it
|
|
|
|
bmp2asc has 2 modes, a color output mode and
|
|
the regular ascii art mode. The color output mode
|
|
just outputs ansi-color colored spaces.
|
|
|
|
./bmp2asc somefile.bmp
|
|
./bmp2asc -c somefile.bmp # (for color mode)
