/golly-sign-generator

given a matrix of rgb/cmyk values, generates a glider image that life-framebuffer can run

Primary LanguageLua

Given a PPM P6 image, generates an image of a glider gun that life-framebuffer can run to produce the same original image in the form of LWSS gliders!

For example the following new year sign generated from hoard-of-bitfonts/msx/msx-japanese-a1gt.yaff: new year sign source is then turned to the following initial life state (using image-to-games): new year sign initial state to run on a monitor in real life (using life-framebuffer): new year sign running

Requires Golly, Python3 with opencv2, and gcc, and the incredible monobit.

Made for Edinburgh Hacklab.
