How does the ASCII Art Generator work?

It scales down your image based on your width setting, converts every pixel to grayscale, and maps its luminance to a specific character based on "ink density". For example, a dark pixel gets a dense character like @ or #, while a bright pixel gets a sparse character like . or a space.
