img2irc (0.2.0)

img2irc is a utility which converts images to halfblock irc/ansi art, with a lot of post-processing filters

halfblock means that each row will contain two rows worth of pixels, effectively doubling the resolution

the irc mode has 99 colours, the ansi mode has 256, ansi24 has 65536
