ASCII Art Generator

Welcome to the ASCII Art Generator page.

This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.

Project Description

Creates simple ASCII art patterns from input. For example, prints a box or a triangle of a given size, or converts images/text to ASCII characters.

Project Requirements

Python 3.x.

How to Run the Project

1. Write a script (e.g. ascii_art.py) that takes user input (size or a phrase) and prints a pattern of characters.
2. Run it: python ascii_art.py. Follow prompts for what to draw (e.g. “Enter size of triangle” or “Enter text to convert to ASCII banner”).

Key Concepts Learned

• Loops: Nested loops for shapes.
• Strings: Repeating characters, concatenation.
• Conditionals: For variations (hollow shapes vs filled).

Possible Extensions

• Use libraries like pyfiglet to turn text into ASCII banners.
• Add more shapes (circle approximation, etc.).
• Animate the ASCII art (e.g. bouncing ball).
