# Epsidenticon
**Epsidenticon** is a service which generate an [identicon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon) image based on a string.
Here are some examples of generated identicons!
## Usage
Images are generated in PNG format with transparent background.
The string can be an email, an IP address, a username, an ID or something else. Every image is saved under `identicons/` directory.
### Generate an identicon
Clone the repository
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/altinthaqi/epsidenticon.git
```
Install dependencies ([egd](https://www.erlang.org/docs/18/man/egd.html))
```bash
$ cd epsidenticon/
$ mix deps.get
```
Start IEx
```bash
$ iex -S mix
```
Run main with a string
```bash
function Epsidenticon.main/1
```
Example
```bash
iex(1)> Epsidenticon.main("altinthaqi")
```
That's it - you should now have a newly generated identicon under `identicons/`!
The same string will always generate the same identicon color and pattern.
