Simple, functional-style, CLI utility for turning images into colourful ASCII art

Install all the dependencies in the requirements.txt file using ''' pip install -r requirements.txt '''

then, navigate to the PyAscii folder and simply run

python main.py IMAGE_PATH

Where IMAGE_PATH directs to an absolute or relative location of an image.

--kernel [int] <-- the size of the kernel used for processing the image (i.e., 3 = 3*3, 5 = 5*5, etc.)
--no-color <-- disable coloring and just show pure ASCII
--randomize <-- randomize the ascii characters used for each run
--background <-- adds a white background to the result

Here's a colorful, yellow-centeric, doge example:

Here's the example with a white background:

• Inspired partly by the following module: https://www.hackerearth.com/practice/notes/beautiful-python-a-simple-ascii-art-generator-from-images/
