PETSCII Renderer

Imagesource: http://c64os.com/

Gregorio Naçu is the mastermind behind C64 OS and should be known to everyone interested. Besides his plan to make the C64 a daily driver in 2022 again, Gregorio is always working on side projects, that lead to very interesting results.

And a few days ago he came up with the idea to build an image-to-PETSCII converter, that cleverly converts modern image formats to PETSCII to be able to display them on a C64 afterwards.

His writeup for the project is super interesting, and Gregorio has made the source available on github.

Have fun with tinkering.
