void.php
This artistic marvel is designed to generate avant-garde ASCII art images and post them to your Mastodon account. Because the internet clearly doesn't have enough random character sets and pseudo-profound status messages already.
Features
- Random ASCII Art Generation: Converts a completely random set of characters into a visually chaotic masterpiece.
- Image Creation: Turns the ASCII art into an image with the always-necessary inverted colors.
- Text Overlay: Adds stylish text overlays to remind viewers of the insightful nature of the message.
- Mastodon Integration: Uploads your new art to Mastodon to grace your followers with digital enlightenment.
- Random Status Generator: Picks a random status from a list to accompany your masterpiece.
Installation
-
Clone the Repository
Clone this repository to your local machine using:git clone https://git.cyberwa.re/revengeday/void.git
-
Font Dependency
Ensure that theBlockZone.ttf
font file is available in the script's directory, or modify the path in the script to point to the correct location. -
Setup API Keys
Replace the placeholder text for the Mastodon API access token with your valid access token:$accessToken = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE';
Also, set your instance URL:
$instance = 'https://your.mastodon.instance';
-
Create a Status File
If you want customized statuses, create apost.txt
file in the script's directory, with each line representing a potential status message.
Usage
-
Access your script via a web browser. It should render your randomly generated works of art as an image when you provide the correct key:
https://yourserver.com/void.php?key=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
-
If you provide the correct key and have configured your Mastodon API token, it will automatically post the generated image along with a randomly chosen status to your Mastodon account.
