glitch-this!
Create glitched images and GIFs, with highly customizable options!
A commandline tool + `python` library to glitchify images and **even make GIFs** out of them!
Featuring *100 gradually different levels of glitching intensity*! The algorithm used to create glitched images is a slightly modifed version of the popular [ImageGlitcher](https://www.airtightinteractive.com/demos/js/imageglitcher/) tool's algorithm, so you can expect the glitched images to look really cool!
**NOW WITH GIF TO GLITCHED GIF SUPPORT! Check out the [docs](https://github.com/TotallyNotChase/glitch-this/wiki/Home)!**
If you like using this tool, please consider **starring on Github**!
What are you waiting for? Import the library and get glitching!
**NOTE** : Works best with RGB/RGBA images

## FEATURES!
* Choose any **glitching intensity** between 0.1 and 10.0, yes those are floats!
*Each level is gradually different*!
Want just a tiny bit of glitching, enough to make your image look cool? - use level 2 (my favorite)!
* Add **scan lines** for a retro CRT effect! Add **color offset** for even cooler glitching!
* Create **Glitched GIFs** from a normal image!
That's right, before this tool, I had to manually download each image from [ImageGlitcher](https://www.airtightinteractive.com/demos/js/imageglitcher/), save them, and then head to a GIF creation website.
Now you can do it *all* at once!
* Glitch normal **GIFs** into **glitched GIFs**!
* Customize **step** of glitching, you can glitch *every step'th frame* instead of all frames!
* **Increment/Decrement glitching intensity** while glitching every frame!
So you can have a frame *glitched with intensity 2*, but the *next can be 5*, the *next to that can be 8* and so on!
* Customize the **number of frames** in a GIF as well as their **duration** - all from the comfort of your terminal!
* Set how many times the GIF should **loop**!
* Set your own custom **seed** for a predictable RNG!

## Whoa! Cool Glitches
Here's some glitched images generated from this script - of different intensity levels!
**NOTE**: All these images had `-c` parameter included, for color offset
#### Original image for reference:-
#### Glitched version - Level 2:-
*Not badly glitched now is it?*
#### Glitched version - Level 5:-
*Well it's certainly starting to get glitchy*
#### Glitched version - Level 8:-
*I don't know what I'm looking at*
Let's get some **scan lines** on there!
#### Glitched version (scan_lines)- Level 2:-
#### Glitched version (scan_lines) - Level 5:-
#### Glitched version (scan_lines) - Level 8:-
That's neat, but how about some GIFs? Here's some GIFs from the same image:-
*Note: All the GIFs use default values from `FRAMES` and `DURATION`, i.e 23 and 200 respectively*
#### Glitched GIF - Level 2:-
#### Glitched GIF - Level 5:-
#### Glitched GIF - Level 8:-
