Implemented based on this guide.

Tech stack used:

• NodeJS.
• Sharp.

Install

npm install

Run

Show help:

node src/app.js -h

Print image with ASCII characters:

1. Write the following command but do not hit enter yet.

   node src/app.js --imagePath <path/to/the/image>

2. Zoom out as much as possible your terminal.

3. Hit enter.

The program assumes a screen resolution of 1920x1080. If the ASCII art looks squashed or weird you can specify another screen resolution using the flag --screenResolution <width>x<height>:

node src/app.js --imagePath <path/to/the/image> --screenResolution 1280x720
