Step 0. Choose an image
Choose the first image that you want to convert into ASCII art. It’s good to start with an image around 640×480. 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, a dense characters like $, are used to cover 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?
