I did give this a try, nice! Video to ASCII in realtime! That was on my "to do" list!
Question - did you assign a brightness value to the different ASCII characters, or are they just arbitrarily selected?
I have been meaning to write a simple prog to go through the printable ASCII characters and for each, _PRINTSTRING it to the screen and count the pixels, the # being its "brightness", and save that score, then at the end sort them by score. Then the picture-to-ascii matches the brightness of each pixel (or a given block of pixels) to be approximated by an ASCII char, and does a lookup in the array to find a character with the corresponding brightness.
In the time it took me to write that explanation I could have finished the code, LOL, but it did help clarify it in my mind.
