AnsiLove is a free Cocoa framework capable of rendering ASCII / ANSi art and handling SAUCE records.
AnsiLove has only two classes responsible for all the magic: ALSauceMachine and ALAnsiGenerator.
The former, ALSauceMachine is reading SAUCE records and returns these values as Objective-C properties. The latter, ALAnsiGenerator creates PNG images from ANSi source files.
Detailed instructions on how to use the AnsiLove Cocoa framework are available HERE.
