# Vic To Ascii

takes ur Vic (video, image , camera capture) removes the colors and slaps some ascii chars to replace it.      

# Project State

I think Victa is in a good enough state, u can save imgs to disk so no terminal needed, project dev gonna slow down a lot now aka i will add more features when i feel bored and want to shilax a bit.

## Needed features:

-   better cmds 

    - set scale factor of imgs for terminal users that dont want to save

    - set font size 

    - change font type

-   saving ascii vids to disk, all the heavy lifting is already done, all what needed is to connect the dots aka opencv + curr_ascii_imgs_generation = video_in_disk

# How To Use 

-   if the terminal output doesnt work that means u are using the wrong terminal, this app was tested on alacritty.

-   by default Victa only handles imgs ant its uses stbi to load them.    

    -   ```

        $ ./run.sh

        $ ./Victa -h

        ```

-   if u want to use video features u need to use opencv 

    -   make sure u have opencv installed or install it **apt install libopencv-dev**

    -   make sure u minimize ur terminal before to see full output, it will seem random when its zoomed in

    -   ```

            $ ./run.sh -opencv

            $ ./Victa -h

            $ ./Victa -cap-frame ; read          # capture a frame print it and wait for input

            $ ./Victa -cap                       # capture stream this will fill ur terminal

        ``` 

# Dependencies

-   stb_image , stb_truetype , stb_image_write: stb is a great afing libary thkx to [nothings](https://github.com/nothings/)

-   opencv, if u want to use videos u got have opencv, does all the heavy lifting, good stuff
