python3 ascii.py

These arguments only work for running python3 video_render.py, you should really be running python3 ascii.py which does all of this for you.

• --framerate=int this was used in the old version, may not work as of now
• --buffer=int buffer the whole video before rendering, this will freeze at "Buffering x/x" until done (recommended to be off)
• --video_mode=bool changes to video mode if True

• Add CLI
• Allow for other modes
• Make it easier to use
• Allow screen capture real time
• Allow for windows
