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.

it does all of the above, yes

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,

Code: (Select All)

 for i=0 to n

    p(i).img = _newimage(8, 16, 32)



    _dest p(i).img

    _source p(i).img



    _printstring (0,0), chr$(i + 32)

    p(i).c = chr$(i + 32)



    sum = 0

    for y=0 to 16-1

    for x=0 to 8-1

        z = point(x, y)

        'pset (x, y), z



        if point(x,y)=_rgb(255,255,255) then sum = sum + 1

    next

    next



    p(i).d = sum

next 

then at the end sort them by score.

Code: (Select All)

 for i=1 to ubound(p)

    j = i

    do while (j>0 and p(j-1).d > p(j).d)

        swap p(j), p(j-1)

        j = j - 1

    loop

next 

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.

Code: (Select All)

     z = point(x*8 + 4, y*16 + 8)

    'z2 = point(x*8 + 4, y*16 + 4)



    r = _red(z)

    g = _blue(z)

    b = _green(z)



    c = 0.299*r + 0.587*g + 0.114*b

    c = (c/255)*n 

also, madsci, i did not forget about the 3D glasses stuff, i'll get around to it one of these days -- it turned out to be truly mad science
