# azarte: chessboard portraits
This is the code I use to make my series of **chessboard portraits**. Some of my photography work inspired
by chess...
The idea is to take fragments of a set of images and build a *chess board*. A *heat map* created using
a chess game moves introduce noise in some of the squares.
## running the code
To create an image you need a set of square images and a chessgame in *pgn* format. First you need to
load your configuration in a *json* file:
```
{
"name": "test",
"sq_size": 128, //the size of each square in pixels
"size": 1024, //the size of input images (note that 8 * sq_size = size)
"noise": true, //you can set this to false, but that's boring
"noise_width": 30, //maximum noise width (to change color's channels (0-255))
"input_path": "input/img/test", //the folder with input images
"output_path": "output/img/test", //the output folder
"output_file": "test_1", //you need an output name
"game_path": "input/pgn/pgn_source_00643.pgn", //path to the chessgame
"piece_weight": "1,3,3,5,9,9" //relative pieces weight to calculate the heatmap
}
```
And then you simply run something like:
```
from chessboard_portrait import Portrait
p = Portrait("input/test.json")
```
## standing upon the shoulders of giants
This little project is possible thanks to a lot of work done by others in the *open-source* community. Particularly in
this case I need to mention:
- [**Python**](https://www.python.org/): the programming language I used.
- [**python-chess**](https://github.com/niklasf/python-chess): the library which helps me to process chess moves.
