Activity Art for GitHub

Create pixel art on the GitHub contributions graph

Acknowledgements

Dan Bader's blog post helped me create stencil matrix from TTF fonts. Thank you Dan!

First steps

1. Create and activate a python3 virtual environment (optional). python2 might work fine as well.

virtualenv venv --python=python3
source venv/bin/activate

2. Install the dependencies from requirements.txt

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Just run main.py as a normal python script and answer the questions along the way!

python main.py

This is roughly how the activity graph would look like:

.......#..#....#.....#..##..........................
..##......#....#.........#..#....#..##...##...##....
.#..#.##..#..#.###..##...#..#.#..#.#..#.#..#.#..#...
