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

1. Clone the Repository
   Clone this repository to your local machine using:

   git clone https://git.cyberwa.re/revengeday/void.git
   

2. Font Dependency
   Ensure that the BlockZone.ttf font file is available in the script's directory, or modify the path in the script to point to the correct location.

3. 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';
   

4. Create a Status File
   If you want customized statuses, create a post.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.
