generate ASCII versions of images

Primary LanguageJava

asciipic

A macOS utility for generating ASCII versions of image files. This was a fun project to learn a little about NSImage/CGImage.

I've made other versions of this program in scala and go, I think. They live somewhere on my github account (most likely in the small_programs repos).
