+Interesting program that shows your webcam's image as ASCII text. Runs in realtime, producing a stream of
+images so that it is actually animated ASCII text. Wild stuff that came about from a post on Reddit of all
+places. The software bits that turn the image into ASCII text were shamelessly taken from this gist:
+https://gist.github.com/cdiener/10491632
+Brilliant work to have pulled off so much with so little Numpy
+What's remarkable about this program is that the animation is created by updating individual Text Elements going
+down the window, one line at a time, every time through the loop. That's 48 lines of text every time. Rough
+timing shows an animation of more than 10 fps when running any of the PySimpleGUI ports.
+Also added onto this are a spinner and a slider. They do essentially the same thing, enable a pair of parameters
+to be modified on the fly.
+
+You need PySimpleGUI installed as well as OpenCV. Both are easily installed via pip:
+pip install PySimpleGUI
+pip install opencv-python
+
+On Linux / Mac use pip3 instead of pip
