Text Based Paint

What is that ?

An idea that has been in my mind since forever. It's simply a paint using text as drawings, following a grid, like a console text (so using monospace caracter, SourceCodePro-regular to be precise). The ponit would be later on to be able to export the file as a text file, easy to insert in a console line as drawing. But what i would really like would be to be able to upload an image, "pixelized" it with caracter (more on this later) and export it as a text file. There would be two mode : "realistic" and "contour".

Technology

• JS/JQUERY
• P5JS more for experiment this tool, see if this is easier to work with canvas trough this than with direct JS
