Have you heard about it? I've been always interested in converting pictures to ascii maps. What I talk about is something like this:



Looking for any application capable of doing such conversion, a came across these ones:

http://www.text-image.com/
http://dmoz.org/Arts/Visual_Arts/ASCII_Art/Software/
http://www.19.5degs.com/element/222.php
http://www.ykwong.com/asciipic.html : This program allows you to convert bitmaps (*.bmp) and JPEGs (*.jpg) into plain text files (*.txt)

Do you know anything else like these?
