A playground of video processing examples in Akka streams and Scala (with some Kafka).

It's always been said that the best way to learn a topic through meme engineering. This set of libraries enables all the fun you never wanted to have.

1. Rendering your webcam to the terminal in Ascii art

   $ sbt "examples/runMain examples.AsciiWebcam"
   

2. Render video (and audio) to the terminal in Ascii Art

   $ sbt "examples/runMain examples.AsciiVideo"
   

3. Create a swing video player that can play/pause an mp4

   $ sbt "examples/runMain examples.VideoPlayer"
   

4. Run a web server that streams your webcam to web browsers in Ascii art

   Dependencies:

   $ brew install kafka 
   $ brew install zookeper
   

   Run in 3 terminals:

   $ zkServer start
   $ kafka-server-start.sh /usr/local/etc/kafka/server.properties
   
   $ sbt "examples/runMain examples.asciiweb.feed.AsciiImageProducer"
   
   $ sbt "examples/runMain examples.asciiweb.ws.Main"
   

You can now check your webcam/drone feed as an Ascii-art animation on http://localhost:8080
