Show HN: Choose Photo. Make Ascii

My friend just learned how to code last week and was already able to make this. I'm impressed by the quality of codecademy

<a href="http://freecode.com/projects/jp2a" rel="nofollow">http://freecode.com/projects/jp2a</a> &#60; I use this in the console sometimes. Nice just to check the orientation of a photo or something, then e.g. rotate w/convert.

Oooh, this reminds me of something similar I made when I was 14 or 15. I made a program to do just this, but only with bitmaps. No Twitter Bootstrap or filepicker.io, though ;)<p>Web interface: <a href="http://minipenguin.com/bta/" rel="nofollow">http://minipenguin.com/bta/</a><p>Standalone source code: <a href="http://minipenguin.com/bta/bta.c" rel="nofollow">http://minipenguin.com/bta/bta.c</a>

Cool web-app, if you like this you should try out libcaca[1] it has even been integrated with mplayer[2].<p>1 - <a href="http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca" rel="nofollow">http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca</a><p>2 - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP5KvaWz6Dg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP5KvaWz6Dg</a>

Perl module for such: <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~asavige/Acme-EyeDrops-1.60/lib/Acme/EyeDrops.pm" rel="nofollow">http://search.cpan.org/~asavige/Acme-EyeDrops-1.60/lib/Acme/...</a>

A bit of oneupmanship: ASCII projektor, which was an app from a few years ago that allowed you to create ASCII from video.<p><a href="http://earthlingsoft.net/ASCII%20Projektor/" rel="nofollow">http://earthlingsoft.net/ASCII%20Projektor/</a>

Put MIT in URL. Get clicks.

Pretty cool. I finally saw a practical use of filepicker.io!

This is fun. I made one of my '88 911:<p><a href="http://kindel.com/porsche/Ascii" rel="nofollow">http://kindel.com/porsche/Ascii</a>

I remember making a python script in high school that did this same thing. If only FilePicker had existed then!

Mplayer has ASCII art output for videos, -vo aa . Can be fun :-)

Really fun! Nice implementation of photo to ascii.

Does it have an API?
