Loads BMP images and displays them in ASCII art. Multiple images can be played as animation.

This project is a coursework for Programming and Algorithmics 2 at FIT CTU.

The program:

• Loads 1 to n images of BMP format and renders them to command-line in grey scale ASCII art.
• Maps pixel color (whiteness) of 0 to 255 to ASCII character via map loaded from a file.
• Gets filenames of the map file and 1 to n bitmaps as command-line arguments.
• Features color inversion and brightness adjustment filters.
• Features animation player (in case of more than 1 image) and trivial animation editation tools in the form of switching or removing frames.
• Features animation playback in forward or backward direction.
• Implements custom BMP parser.
• Lets user play/pause the animation, change the speed and direction of the playback and frame-by-frame skipping.
• Uses NCurses library for rendering to command line.

Assuming you have make installed, run these commands to:

cd {REPOSITORY_ROOT}
make compile
./hodulrom <map> <image> [more_images...]

You can use {REPOSITORY_ROOT}/examples/map.txt as a map file and {REPOSITORY_ROOT}/examples/nyan{1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2}.bmp as a sample animation.

cd {REPOSITORY_ROOT}
make doc

then navigate to {REPOSITORY_ROOT}/hodulrom/doc/index.html with your favourite web browser.

cd {REPOSITORY_ROOT}
make clean
