I Made a Video Player in the Terminal

I turned the Windows Terminal into a Video Player. The idea was simple: take my own test video, extract its frames, convert them into colored ASCII, and play everything directly inside the terminal. Of course, the terminal doesn’t have real pixels. It only has characters. So I had to build a small rendering system that treats every terminal symbol like a pixel, gives it a color, and redraws the screen fast enough to look like a video. This is a coding experiment using my own video content. It does not promote piracy, bypassing paid content, unauthorized access, or downloading videos from YouTube. The project was made for educational and entertainment purposes. Link to Build and Source Code:   / crashbyt   It’s probably the worst video player ever made. But it works.
