Just a small Saturday project inspired by crypto NFT collections.

Wrote a python script to generate 19,683 NFT’s.  Posted on solsea just to try it out.

Started on a simple DOGE one which does layers.

I used a modified version of https://github.com/Jon-Becker/nft-generator-py.git to generate the above images.  The basic idea is to have layers like background, foreground, accessory layers, etc.  PNG’s in a folder with white background as transparency (alpha).  Then combine the layers to do different variations.

The original popular version of this style of NFT was CryptoPunks June 2017.  The "bored ape yacht club" is a more recent popular example.  There’s already a DOGE version called "The Doge Pound".

According to https://www.nft-stats.com/collection/the-doge-pound , "The Doge Pound NFTs were sold 294 times in the last 7 days. The total sales volume for The Doge Pound was $4.28M. The average price of one The Doge Pound NFT was $14.6k" as of 2021/11/01.

From https://thedogepoundnft.com/

> Each Doge Pound has constructed algorithmically by mixing a variety of properties with different possibilities in the following categories:
Background, Clothing, Earring, Eyes, Eyewear, Mouth, Fur, and Hat.

> The Doge Pound was founded by three friends who set a goal and want to achieve it. Three oddly matched people expressing themselves via art and creating something interesting and hilarious.

Jan 2016 to Mar 2017, I was making reliable progress on HeroQuest UE4. After changing jobs (and moving from TX to CA), progress slowed, and I entered an indefinite hobby project sabbatical circa late Jun 2017.

Early Nov 2017 I got sucked into the cryptocurrency mania – albeit a bit late to the party.

I wrote this nifty GUI in 2006 (shortly after college) for playing the YuGiOh card game.

This basic GUI prototype is pretty simple – it doesn

My idea for this new blog category is to describe some older small side projects (exclusively, or at least primarily, done outside of work) (programming of course) that I wrote long before I created this blog.  I

Overview

This post is some notes on my experience trying out Sikuli to write a simple Game of War bot.

Sikuli is a neat little tool that makes it super easy to write Python scripts for simple automation tasks that involve clicking on images.  Sikuli comes with an IDE that can take screen captures and shows you the screen capture as a thumbnail in your Python code viewer. I don
