The Magic Behind ASCII Art

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses printable characters from the ASCII standard to create images. In this case, we're using it to represent video frames. Here's how the conversion works:

• Each video frame is captured and resized to a manageable resolution.
• The brightness of each pixel is calculated and mapped to a corresponding ASCII character.
• Characters representing brighter areas are typically fuller (like '@' or '#'), while dimmer areas use lighter characters (like '.' or ',').
• This process repeats for each frame, creating the illusion of a moving ASCII image.

The result is a nostalgic, text-based representation of your video that harkens back to the early days of computer graphics. Enjoy your retro-style ASCII videos!
