Description

A simple application that accesses the video device and converts the images to ascii characters.

Reviews

Cl*****

Uses subtly different colours rather then just character ink density to render shades - which is a bit of a cheat - the magic of ASCII images is that they can be rendered on old tech line printers - colour has no place in this. Inexplicably and needlessly enables microphone and speaker causing echo and feedback. Fixed size window and font, no snapshot/copy&paste/print, which is a shame since printing this stuff large is much more interesting than a screen display with tiny low resolution characters, so small it is hard to tell that they are in fact ASCII.
