REX2ANSI

Convert REXPaint files to 24-bit color ANSI art.

Twenty. Four. Bit. Color ANSI.

What's that, you say, 24-bit color ANSI art? You out of touch human. ANSI art died when Codepage 437 faded everywhere except the Windows command prompt which doesn't even do ANSI color anymore.

Not true anymore! This beautiful anachronism exists on most terminals! Windows command prompt recently gained support for 24-bit color here.

Windows, Mac and Linux all have 24-bit ANSI art support in their various terminals. REXPaint is one of the few programs that generates high color art. All that remained was a way to get it out.

Features

• Standalone executable with CLI options, graphics pipeline tool
• Export codepage 437 (classic ANSI) or UTF-8 (non-Windows users want this)
• Supports layer flattening
