A ruby implementation for generating unique images based on the checksum of a given string.
I have provided some scripts under bin/ which should help automate the process. You'll need to either use an initializer to set the output_path or edit lib/rubohash.rb to change @robot_output_path = '/Users/mark/dev/backend-tools/handi/src/rubohash/output/' to a known location on your system. You can also configure the various options like default_set, default_format, and default_bg_set.
You should be able to use the script ./bin/build.sh to build, install, and launch an irb terminal with the gem loaded. You can also configure the gem in this script.
Once you have an irb console open, simple do:
Rubohash.assemble!("my_test_string_here")This will run the algorithm and output the file to @robot_output_path. You also need to have ImageMagick installed on your system.
Rubohash can also be mounted inside a Rails application by setting mounted to true.
You should be able to completely uninstall the gem by running:
./bin/clean.shThe gem is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
