This repository contains a Python program that converts a video (BadApple in this case) into an ASCII art representation in real-time. Inspired by the repository ascii-webcam, this project focuses on bringing that concept to a static video file for visual fun.
"BadApple to ASCII" is a simple Python script that reads the video file video.mp4
and displays each frame as an ASCII art on the terminal. It's perfect for turning the iconic Bad Apple video into a unique art form that can be enjoyed in a retro and minimalistic way.
- Converts video frames to ASCII art.
- Can display the video in a terminal in real time.
- Simple Python implementation, easy to modify for other videos.
Make sure you have Python installed (preferably Python 3.6+).
You will also need to install some dependencies. You can do that by running:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/UnTanukii/badapple-to-ascii.git
- Install the required Python libraries:
cd badapple-to-ascii
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Download the
video.mp4
file (BadApple video) and place it in the repository directory.
To run the script and start the conversion process, execute:
python main.py
The video will start to play frame by frame, converting each frame into ASCII art that is printed to your terminal.
