VideoToASCII lets you easily convert short videos into fun ASCII animations that you can share with anyone as a .txt file.
To convert a video, clone the repo and edit __main__.py to suit your needs. On the fifth line, change 'test-videos/1.mp4' to the path to the video that you would like to convert. On the seventh line, change 'test-animations/1.txt' to the path to the output .txt file. After making these changes, run pip install -r requirements.txt and then python3 . in the directory in which the program is, wait for the "done check it out" message, and you're all set! All you have to do now is run cat <output_filename>.txt and your animation will be rendered frame by frame in your console!
