ASCII-Animation-generator

A command-line script that plays any MP4 file as an ASCII animation within a command-line interface.

Disclaimer:

This project's example and inspiration are both taken from a trend on the internet of shocasing remakes of the animation of Bad Apple!! on a large variety of technologies (like in within a CLI).
