Rendering images as text
Conclusions
A few last suggestions for interesting applications: you might want to take a look at asciinema
[20], MapSCII [21], and ASCIIQuarium [22].
With asciinema
, you can record terminal sessions as video. In addition, the project website acts as a YouTube replacement and preserves your recorded sequences in 8-bit. MapSCII (Figure 8), a digital atlas based on OpenStreetMap, offers a zoom function (Figure 8): Use A to zoom in, Z to zoom out, and the arrow keys to navigate. The coordinates of the image's center at the bottom of the screen help with orientation.
For a little entertainment at the terminal, try the ASCIIQuarium (Figure 9), which turns your terminal into a virtual aquarium. Happy fishing!
