Bad Apple printed out on the console with Python!

A word of disclaimer, while the final code is somewhat original, this project is an amalgamation of different code snippets that I found online. As the main YouTube Video begins to gain traction, I feel the need to inform the audience that this code is NOT ENTIRELY ORIGINAL.

The concept of playing Bad Apple!! on a Command Line Interface (CLI) is not a novel idea and I am definitely not the first.

There are many iterations and versions around YouTube and I wanted to give it a shot. The intent of posting the video on YouTube was to show a few friends of a simple weekend project that I whipped up in Python.

My own video can be found here.

Currently, my implementation of a rudimentary static time.sleep() function results in an incremental error over time. This thus leads to the frame accucracy drifting.

I am also looking into improving frame extraction and generation times.

The main functions will be listed here.

Reads the files from the previously generated ASCII .txt files and prints it out onto the console.

Plays the bad apple audio track.

A simple progress bar function that generates the status of both frame extraction and ASCII frame generation. This code was taken from a StackOverflow thread.

Not a particular function, but a group of functions.

resize_image()

greyscale()

pixels_to_ascii()

These functions are called in the ascii_generator() function to convert image files to ASCII format and stores them into .txt files.

Note that the ASCII conversion code is not original, and was taken from here.
