Identicon

Demo

Authors: Will Fenton & Giancarlo Pernudi Segura

This is a short one-day project to make an Identicon generator (see drhus/awesome-identicons).

Versions

identicon.py

• outputs a simple ascii image based on a SHA-256 hash

randomart.py

• implements the OpenSSH ascii fingerprint algorithm

identicon.pde

• recursively colors rectangles based on a string seed

sectors_rgb.py

• uses nearest neighbors algorithm to generate an unique image based on a SHA-256 hash
• (16/12/19) apparently we convergently developed a Voronoi diagram algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram

sectors.py

• same as sectors_rgb.py but uses HSV for nicer colors (and some nice features like command line input and SHA-512)
• Uasge: ./sectors.py [options] <string>..., can also read from standard input
• images are saved in output/ folder
