| Aug 18, 2017 at 3:28 | comment | added | MD XF | Do you plan to post this? I'd like to do so if you don't. Also, by community guidelines I'm allowed to do so in 7 days if you don't respond to this. This is a great challenge, I'd hate to see it go to waste! | |

| May 3, 2016 at 19:09 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | If you want to give an explicit method, scale an X by Y image by min(80/X,24/Y). Then you just need to specify whether fractions become the floor, ceiling or are rounded. | |
| May 3, 2016 at 19:03 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | The resizing rule doesn't quite work since the screen isn't square. For example, if the image is 800 by 700, then the longest side is horizontal but scaling that down to 80 still leaves the vertical at 70, which is longer than 24. I think what you want is "Scale down the image just enough to fit into 80 by 24, while maintaining the aspect ratio as closely as possible" | |

| May 3, 2016 at 18:43 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | If there is a clearly defined objective specification (which there appears to be) then popularity contest doesn't seem to be a good fit. If you don't have a reason to avoid golf, that seems a perfectly good fit. | |

| Sep 7, 2015 at 18:39 | comment | added | Downgoat | I think this would be better suited for popularity-contest because image processing / printing may very between systems. Correct output should probably be console based to avoid giving languages like JavaScript an easy advantage. Taking in input with function argument is also common. Also, are PPM allowed? This can make it easier for languages that don't support image processing well to participate. | |

| Sep 6, 2015 at 18:13 | comment | added | Blue | @PeterTaylor 1. Removed that reference. 2. I hope that's clearer, it was meant to explain how you can use ANSI escaping. 3. Added that explicitly. 4. Loophole closed but I'm not sure how clear it is now. | |
| Sep 6, 2015 at 18:10 | history | edited | Blue | CC BY-SA 3.0 | made clearer |
| Sep 6, 2015 at 17:11 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | 1. ANSI is the name of a standards institute. "In ANSI" is not very clearly expressed. 2. It's not clear why, having said that the task is about outputting arbitrary images, you suddenly start talking about printing "Hello, World!". 3. You seem to be assuming that each character on the terminal will correspond to one pixel, but it's not clear why. And then you say that we can use any character. Wouldn't it make more sense to leave foreground alone and just change background and write a space? 4. You've left open a classic loophole by allowing people to scale their image to 0x0 or 1x1. | |

| Sep 6, 2015 at 14:46 | comment | added | ugoren | 1. Are image processing libraries allowed? Decoding the image is the most difficult part. 2. What does "closest available colour" mean? How do you calculate the distance? 3. Provide a link to a simple reference about using ANSI escaping. 4. An example is great. One is enough, unless more examples can highlight different aspects of the question. 5. should the aspect ratio be maintained? | |
