Origin: https://git.la10cy.net/DeltaLima/pixelfloot

an very simple and dirty pixelflut client to draw images, written in bash. pixelfloot was built during the 37c3. in its actual state, its just a mess. I hope i will find time to put it in a more usable and readable format.

examples

Display image: ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg
- set position: W=1337 H=420 ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg
image random position: ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg chaos
- wider "chaos-radio": W=1000 H=600 ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg chaos
image shake position: ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg shake
- set the position : W=420 H=420 ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg shake
image bounce across screen: ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg bounce
- can set the "bounce-radius": X_MAX=1000 Y_MAX=500 ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg bounce
move image with your cursor (needs xdotool): ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg cursor
Use a color as "alpha" (remove background): ALPHACOLOR=FF00FF ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/cursor.ppm cursor
write text: TEXT="pixelflut makes a lot of fun! :)" ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot text
- set the size of the Textbox and the textcolor: COLOR=FF00FF SIZE=240 TEXT="colors, yeah!" ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot text
- you can also use ALPHACOLOR here, or set your: ALPHACOLOR=000000 TEXT="colors, yeah!" ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot text
- define your own background color: BGCOLOR=0000FF SIZE=240 TEXT="colors, yeah!" ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot text
increase No of concurrent connections: FLOOTFORKS=8 ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg
specify IP and PORT: IPFLOOT=127.0.0.1 FLOOTPORT=1337 ./pixelfloot_bash.sh floot images/lucky-cat.jpg

$ ./pixelfloot_bash.sh help
./pixelfloot_bash.sh [floot|convertimg] [FILENAME|fill|text] ([MODE])
MODE: static (env $H and $W for position)

      shake (env $H and $W for position range)
      cursor
      bounce (env $Y_MAX and $X_MAX for max bounce range)

available env vars to configure:
RESIZE(int), ALPHACOLOR(hex), FLOOTFORKS(int), H(int), W(int)
