+==== Step 0. Choose an image ====
-[[https://robertheaton.com/2018/06/12/programming-projects-for-advanced-beginners-ascii-art/|Source]]
+Choose the first image that you want to convert into ASCII art. It’s good to start with an image around 640x480.  It can be in color, a photo, or a drawing.  Light pixels will be represented by small characters like a dot (.), which leave lots of the background exposed. On the other extreme, dense characters like $ are used to cover up the background.
+==== Step 1. Read your image and print its height and width in pixels ====
+==== Step 2. Load your image’s pixel data into a 2-dimensional array ====
+==== Step 3. Convert the RGB tuples of your pixels into single brightness numbers  ====
+==== Step 4. Convert brightness numbers to ASCII characters  ====
+==== Step 5. What if it looks your image looks squashed? ====
