Convert images or gifs to ascii art #10

Closed boveus closed 5 years ago

boveus commented 6 years ago

We should use this npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/image-to-ascii to convert images to ascii.

We might even be able to do ascii gifs somehow, that might be neat.

Maybe we could convert the gif to images, convert images to ascii, convert ascii back to images, then make the images into a new gif, then post the gif?

There is a branch for this, but there isn't any way to do this in pure ascii due to the discord message character limit :(
