Unity Image Effect that replicates retro ASCII rendering seen in games such as Rogue and Dwarf Fortress!
Simply start by adding ASCIIRendering script to your camera Game Object.

- CharTex: Characters Texture, it is a texture that consists of a character sprites in a single line. See example in the Textures folder
- Tiles X: Number of characters horizontally, it is recommended to set this value to ScreenWidth/charWidth for the best result
- Tiles Y: Number of characters vertically, it is recommended to set this value to ScreenHeight/charHeight for the best result
- charWidth: Width of a single character in pixels
- charHeight: Height of a single character in pixels
- charCount: Number of characters in a texture
- brightness: Background brigthness of a character, it should be a value between [0,1]

You are free to use this shader on all of your projects, commercial or non-commercial, you don't have to credit me anywhere, even though that would be nice.
