Pixel-Renderer-In-Terminal

A simple renderer that converts PNG images to unicode characters displayed in the terminal

Slightly important things:

1. You will need the "png.h" library to compile. Just google how to install

Install and Compile

git clone https://github.com/InterstellarDragonDev/Pixel-Renderer-In-Terminal.git
cd Pixel-Renderer-In-Terminal/
mkdir build
make

this will compile a executable file you might have to give it execute permissions with chmod +x pixel_engine

How to use

run the executable with the first parameter being the image file e.g) ./pixel_engine test_image.png

Important

Only works with png's no other file format is supported

Note

You may want to set your terminal font to something low (I tested with it set to 1). there is technically no limit to the size that can be rendered but that doesn't mean all images will render properly if they can't fit into the window without warping
