My PixelPainter I use (24/7) to paint on the canvas run by the python discord, in their pixel event. You can use this yourself if you so desire.

PydisPixels Painter

This is the script I'm using to join in on the python discord pixels event!

Setup

Oh look, a very convenient shell script!

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EEKIM10/pydis-pixel/master/install.sh | bash

BEFORE YOU RUN!

You must first get an API token from https://pixels.pythondiscord.com/show_token. Once you've done that, create a file called auth.txt, and paste it in there. It must be in your current working directory.

Looping

(basically, native 24/7 running)

You can specify if the program should loop itself with the command line argument --loop

Note: looping will use the same input values you're asked when you start the program. This is useful for "protecting" one of your drawings.

$ python3 main.py --loop once  # will loop once
$ python3 main.py --loop 2  # will loop two times
$ python3 main.py  # will loop once
$ python3 main.py --loop infinite

Headless running

If you want to run this script without a console to take inputs (e.g. via a crontab or whatever), you can pass command line arguments for every input:

# Setting where the source image is
$ python3 main.py --image /path/to/image  # path can be relative, absolute, or a HTTP[S] URI.

# Controlling cursor boundaries
# -X: The start of the cursor (horizontally, left)
# -Y: The start of the cursor (vertically, top)
# -H: The end of the cursor (horizontally, right)
# -V: The end of the cursor (vertically, bottom)
$ python3 main.py -X 0 -Y 0 -H 240 -V 135

# Painting a 12x16 image called "box.png" (this command won't ask for any input whatsoever):
$ python3 main.py -X 100 -Y 100 -H 112 -V 116 -I $HOME/Downloads/box.png
