View the world as ASCII art
Features ASCII cam
A long time ago computers didnt have graphics.
All they could do was show green characters on a black screen or black characters on white paper.But programmers were resourceful.
They discovered that if you filled the screen with certain characters and squinted you could sort of make out a picture.
Thus ASCII art was born.The ASCII cam application lets you view the world as ASCII art using the camera on an Android device.
Characters are displayed as green-on-black, white-on-black, or, for that line printer look, as dark-grey-on-white.Short of simulating clay tablets or papyrus, this is as old-school as it gets.Pictures can be saved as either PNG images or text files.Fixed Android 10 storage permissions.

"I thought I'd try this app as a tip for the work done for the X Server, and quickly found a few problems with "ASCII cam". - video doesn't when 'Stretch to fill screen' is used - ASCII and video don't seem to sync with 'Zoom to fill screen' - No way to select front or back camera - Picture taking requires a direction pad, perhaps 'tap anywhere on screen' would help tablets without direction pads Promising app, should be a nice demo for small kids. UPDATE: Developer added a "Take a picture" menu entry the next day! Rock on."
