Me and my friend (Sakshyam) are working on a project - Terminul which we vision to be a media player which would play music, display image and maybe even video in terminal with visuals.
Gemini for reference and debugging if we couldn’t fix the issue after spending at least 25 minutes.
Day-1 of project terminul: (more info in project details)
Today, I explored image processing and ASCII art generation. To be specific I looked at PIL documentation, explored its capabilities and used it for image processing in the project. Today’s tech stack: PIL and numpy. You might be curious of “Why numpy??” So answering that questions, I don’t know myself.. I had learned numpy when adventuring Machine Learning, and I felt little more comfortable with numpy. So, I decided to just use it if in future I have to manipulate image as matrix with convolution and for current situation, I’m using it for excessing each pixel of the image.
But I’m confused whether to use terminal color as in first screenshot or should we go with ascii art for display as in second screenshot. I’m open to suggestion: [email protected] .
With this ends day 1, we look forward to suggestion and you can check the repo for the code.
