XVO Artie

Inspiration

ASCII art has always been an interesting way to represent images, and it provides an interesting art style to use in things like games.

What does it do?

Takes in an image as an input, and outputs and ASCII representation of that inputted image.

How we built it

We followed a tutorial online on ASCII generation and worked with our own images to test the outputs of the program.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble resolving ASCII detail from inputted images that were either too detailed in scope, or the file size was too large. We also had many technical difficulties that made us switch up our ideas and adapt last minute.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the fact that we were able to code this program relatively quickly, even with debugging, and that we were also able to effectively split up work to be the most efficient.

What we learned

We learned how to effectively split up work depending on the strengths of each teammate. We also learned how to quickly adapt to problems under a time crunch. From the project itself, we learned how to generate imagery by importing tools like Pillow and also working with the troubleshooting process.

What's next for XVO Artie

We want to expand this idea further by making a service that will immediately take an image from Google and convert it straight into ASCII with very little downtime.
