A very simple ASCII art generator

Mosaiic

This is just a Python image-to-ASCII-based-mosaic generator, with some customizable options.

Requirements

Only Pillow is required. A requirements.txt file is provided.

If you use this under Linux, make sure libfreetype6-dev is available in your system so Pillow can use truetype fonts. For apt-based distros, use:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev
