Kpop'minal

Watch K-pop music videos in an ASCII format.

Uses video-to-ascii by joelibaceta.

▶︎ Run

How it came

One thing fascinating about command lines is that they can do many things that GUIs do, such as moving files, editing files, etc.

However, there are some things that CLIs can't do. You can't watch videos in there out of the box.

But there is The Matrix that plays in ASCII. You can also watch a recreated Star Wars just by using the telnet command.

So what about watching k-pop videos in the terminal?

With the help of joelibaceta's video-to-ascii, this is actually possible.

What it does

Give the artist name, give the music video name, and run.

A script will be downloaded containing the ASCII version of the k-pop music video. This only works in POSIX and Linux OSes.

And get a taste of it here.
