Sprite Generator

======================

A python port of https://github.com/zfedoran/pixel-sprite-generator. It essentially

takes in any template and randomly generates sprites based on the template.   

## Algorithm

The sprites are generated by using a two dimensional mask. The values in the mask are then randomized and mirrored. The resulting template is rendered to a canvas element.



The algorithm is explained in more detail on [Dave Bollinger's](http://web.archive.org/web/20080228054410/http://www.davebollinger.com/works/pixelspaceships/) website.



## Examples

## Code

```python

from SpriteGenerator import generate_canvas

robot = [[0, 0, 0, 0],

         [0, 1, 1, 1],

         [0, 1, 2, 2],

         [0, 0, 1, 2],

         [0, 0, 0, 2],

         [1, 1, 1, 2],

         [0, 1, 1, 2],

         [0, 0, 0, 2],

         [0, 0, 0, 2],

         [0, 1, 2, 2],

         [1, 1, 0, 0]]

im = generate_canvas(robot, 

                     color_variations=0.2, 

                     brightness_noise=0.3,

                     edge_brightness=0.3, 

                     saturation=0.2, 

                     colored=False, 

                     mirror=True, 

                     n=80,

                     nr_columns=20)

im.resize((im.size[0]*2, im.size[1]*2))
