Pixel store (wip)

Place to coordinate which pixels to place Current output:

Adding new images

1. Create a branch

2. Upload image to images folder: example.png with transparent background and without any border.
The image must be in 1:1 pixel scale and only use the colours provided by reddit.

3. Add a new block to config.toml:

[[structure]]
name = "example"
file = "images/example.png"
startx = 1234 # x-coordinate
starty = 5678 # y-coordinate
priority = 2

The coordinates are of the uppermost, leftmost pixel of the linked png in r/place. Do not change the priority unless coordinated with the other devs.

4. Run scripts to preview output: Run these two scrips in this specific order

python .\scripts\generate_json.py

This will generate pixel.json

python .\scripts\render_json.py

Now pixel.json is used to generate output.png as well as overlay.png.

IMPORTANT: Check output.png to ensure the images have been placed correctly. You can also use overlay.png to check if the overlay is correct.

5. Commit and push your changes Relevant files are:

config.toml, and images\beispiel.png

DO NOT push pixel.json, output.png or overlay.png.

These files will conflict when multiple people are adding files at the same time. GitHub-Actions will automatically build the output and overlay once your pull request has been accepted.

6. Create a pull request to main and have another dev review it

7. Pray the actions work and cry if they don't
