Linux terminal picture viewer WIP...

[Pixel_Outlaw]

I'm working on a terminal based picture viewer.
You can see some progress here. It doesn't load by file path yet just testing the standard test image "lena"

Lets face it, when you store pictures from a camera on the computer they usually don't have a very good name so soon you will be able to view them from terminal while copying folders...

C++ with CImg library. I'm freaking bonkers officially now.

Not sure if this is better or worse but this is how it looks like with braille patterns. This probably won't port to Windows but will work in posix.

Since the braille patters have an even distribution of dots it should be more accurate (untill the lightest character which sort of jumps to pure white as it is a block drawing character for a solid color)

What you doing is AMAZING!

Very neat Pixel Outlaw. Looks cool

You could try to dither the picture to 1bit and select the best-matching braile character for each 2x3 pixel block.

It's definitely getting there, first pic took a moment te register but I recognised the second at a glance
