Making this thread for updates to cudASCII.
Currently it's able to read in a .bmp file and convert it to ASCII. I don't feel like doing whacky fractional scaling yet so I'm working on other file formats.
My question is, should I just use the file extension as the file type (and verify the file signature is in fact that file type), or should I try that, and if it fails try to deduce the file type from its signature.
The second approach is more robust, the only problem is it's also much more difficult.
