Tapciify

CLI tool that can let you view images in terminal as ASCII art

Requirements

1. CC linker (Windows - Microsoft Visual Studio with C++ Support) (Linux - gcc)

2. Rust

Installation

cargo install tapciify

Converting image

1. Run: tapciify -i imagePath -w imageWidth for image.

2. Run: tapciify -i imagePath -w imageWidth -r for reversed colors.

Converting video

In this example I set framerate to 24 (but you can use any another)

Requires ffmpeg

1. Make frames from video into dir:

   mkdir frames; ffmpeg -i bad_apple.mkv frames/%08d.jpeg
   

2. Run:

   tapciify -i frames/* -w videoWidth -f 24
