# Pixel Prime

Attempts to turn a photo into a prime number that looks a lot like the photo

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- .NET compiler

- Python 3 Interpreter

### Installing

With dotnet

```

dotnet build

```

## Running

Put a `.pgm` image in the base directory

#### From a console:

Run `pgmToNumber.py`

```

python3 pgmToNumber.py

```

Run the main program

```

dotnet run

```

Eventually (you may need to leave it running for a while) you will see `Possible prime found` in stdout. At this point (or after more possible primes are found), terminate the program and run the formatter

```

python3 format.py

```

Now there will be possible primes, formatted, in output.txt

Note that these are *possible* primes. While it is very likely that they are prime, more tests are required to know deterministically.

## Examples

See the Primes folder for examples of primes that have been found with this program
