Video to ASCII Art

Convert videos to ASCII movies with this command line tool.

Usage

Build the C extensions:

./make.sh

Convert the video file to ASCII: (note that the file should be placed in the same directory as converter.py)

./converter.py video.mp4

Play the ASCII movie from the terminal. You have to reduce the font size in your terminal (Ctrl + -) and an appropriate font should be selected. I have included the square.ttf font in the repository.

./player.py video.ascii
