Today we will implement the suggested changes of last week's video where we turned a live stream into #ASCII #art and printed it out to a console.
I explained that you can (and should) render out image sequences if you wanted to align to the audio perfectly. And today we will do that and we will not introduce another library we will just use #OpenCV because I wanted to learn that as well :D
You can now render any movie into ASCII ART. There's room for a bit more thread optimisation, by using a thread pool, instead of a 4 thread joined, 'thread block'. But it's relatively quick.
