a cute little idea stolen from rbishop. provides a function for generating an "identicon" (an icon produced from the hash of a given string). please feel free to steal from me as well! ^_^
this version is a little cleaner and uses softer, "web-safe" foreground colours on a customisable background.
compile in the usual manner:
mix deps.get
mix compile
and then if you just want to test it out (with your name or whatever XD), try something like:
iex -S mix
iex(1)> File.write "Elixir.png", Identicon.gen("Elixir", {36, 32, 36})
which produces:
