Bitmap to ASCII art

**cairnswm** · 17-11-2003, 07:59 AM

Does anyone have a code sample for converting Bitmaps to ASCII art. I have fgound one but it only does black and white and I'd like a color one if possible.

Here's an image to ascii art converter I wrote http://www.geocities.com/peter_bone_...bmptoascii.zip . It can do colour and has other features like character selection, image preprocessing, contrast adjustment, jpeg support.

Great.

Unfortunatly I cant seem to get to that page. Any chance you could email it to mee?

You can get it by stripping off the filename and going to his page directly. It seems that Geocities doesn't like linking to files directly for whatever reason. I took the liberty of uploading it to my site for you: http://www.alistairkeys.co.uk/download/bmptoascii.zip

Thanks Ali but I need to source not the compiled file

I emailed it to you. I don't know why you couldn't get to it - it works for me. Maybe you happened to try to get to it when my site was down. It does that frequently - I really must get a proper website.

Thanks.

As I'm sure everyone here has releised I love programming contests and I found this one:

I thought it would be easiest to do the effect on a BMP and convert to text before display.....
