    Converts jpg images to ASCII

  • At some point I realized the only way to have the capabilities I wanted in the engine, was to design a graphics & meta editor. Which so far turns out to be basically an MSPaint program that draws in ANSI and contains game meta information. Up until now, I have been relying on procedural code / command line utilities (jp2a, img2txt) to convert jpeg's, gif's & png's images into ANSI, or 3rd party ANSI drawing programs like Moebius ANSI Art Editor
