# MonsterID

MonsterID is a method to generate a unique monster image based upon a certain identifier (IP address, email address, whatever). It can be used to automatically provide personal avatar images in blog comments or other community services.

**This repository is basically just a dump of the [original implementation][5], relicensed under the MIT License. If you need production ready code, have a look at [sandfoxme/monsterid][6]**.

MonsterID was inspired by a post by [Don Park][1] and the [Combinatoric Critters][2].

All graphics were created by [Andreas Gohr][3]. The source code and the graphics are provided under the [MIT License][4].
