ascmaster

ascmaster is a simple Ruby gem for converting images to ASCII.

Unfortunately it has the worst dependency in the world: rmagick.

To install: gem install ascmaster

Or, if you're using Bundler, add to your Gemfile: gem 'ascmaster'

You can use ascmaster from the command-line. Just give it the path to a local image file: ascmaster path/to/your/image.jpg

Enjoy!
