Valefant / image-to-ascii

Creates an ASCII representation of an image

image-to-ascii

A small program I have written in Kotlin for learning purposes

Usage

# build jar using the gradle wrapper
./gradlew jar

# you can name and move it wherever you want
mv build/libs/*.jar ./image-to-ascii.jar

# let's run it
java -jar image-to-ascii.jar cat.jpg ascii-cat.txt

Here is a side by side comparison of the cat image I used and the resulting ASCII version
