Windows desktop image to ASCII art converter
This converter enables you to convert your favourite images to ascii art. Ascii art is a text file, that looks like a picture when zoomed-out. But when zoomed-in you can see that there are in fact letters that form a picture.
Generated picture-text file can be saved as .txt or .html.
This project enables to do some experiments on programming languages speed. You choose whether an image conversion should be done in C# or assembly code. For both ways you can pick the number of threads from 1 - 64, that conversion should use. The app measures time that the conversion has taken. There is even a option to export results to .csv file for better time relationship analysis:
Assembly code uses vector registers math (xmms) for even more parallelism.
