Looks like it's all based on Drawille, which is python.

This is pretty cool!

It reminds me of a similar project that’s been around called drawille [0] which is pretty nifty.

It could be fun to use some code from this Quake version and something like the drawille [1]. As a result one could play this Quake on a terminal.

There is C implementation - libdrawille [2].

If you need monochromatic images (ie for logos or charts) a pretty cool trick is using braille. With a little bit of hacking, the xkcd example of this repo https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille/ works pretty well :)

I'll be using this for my email signature.

I made something similar to this using a combination of 256 color mode and unicode halftone characters for "dithering" between the foreground/background colors.

Another thing I'd like to try to get a bit more resolution is to perhaps use the braille character set in combination with 256 color mode: https://github.com/asciimoo/drawille

Also, some terminals are starting to support 24bit color (iTerm2 nightlies) which could pretty drastically improve the possibilities of terminal based video: https://github.com/frytaz/txtcam/tree/color :)
