AAlib

AAlib is a software library which allows applications to automatically convert still and moving images into ASCII art.

It has been used in a wide variety of programs, including a conversion of Quake II which allows the 3D game to be played on dumb terminals, and to let media players output in text mode ( Xine, MPlayer, VLC).

AAlib is freely distributed under the terms of the LGPLv2.
