At the risk of starting a new avatar fad.. (cough, cough!) I've made a little program which asks you to enter an 8 letter username (A-Z and spaces only) and then creates a unique retro style avatar (complete with label) from that username. You can save the output as a 100 x 100 BMP avatar, or try a new word/name. http://www.retroidea.com/downloads/Retro Avatars.zipPlease have fun and hope to see some new avatars soon!  |

Ok, just uploaded a new version, 128 x 128 avatars, 10 characters text (including numbers), and a few tweaks to the sprite creation routine.
(same link as before..)

It's broken.
"SQUID YES" gives the same avatar as "BUMCHEEKS".
Surely that can't be right?

128 x 128 was a little too big for this forum (it got shrunk and looked a little blurred), so I've changed it to 112 x 112 and 9 characters.  |

It does indeed.  I've been thinking about putting a lot more work into this to make it make the facial features much clearer. That would get rid of some of the sprites which don't really look like anything recognisable. That wouldn't just be for this little program, but as a general purpose tool. |

Yeah, I mean who's going to spend half and hour trying all combination's of their name with/without spaces until they find one they like? Not me. I've got better things to do |

There's a bug. Generate with a long name, and then generate with a shorter name. Some of the long name text will still show up in the image.

Ah yes, I must have forget to clear the text buffer. Well, that's not an urgent bug to fix yet! Nice sprites BTW. |

Ha, can't even keep my pants up they're so big.
But not as big as the size of the freaking rabbit it took to make my hat.

Ok, I'm just adding a bit more code to make the sprites look more face like. |

"deps" gives the same result as "lobo" it seems. I wanted to read the thread before I changed my avatar. Glad I did or else things could have gotten a bit awkward. |

Because I'm great I've now added 'Face Enhancement' sekrit technology and (hopefully) made the code range bigger, Now a LOT more of the results look like monsters/faces. |

Is it possible to add 2 more letters? I can type 'hatonasti'. If not I'll use my real name ie. git. Ok, time to make a simple rogue-like or strategy wargame using graphics generated by this application. |

If I was to increase it to 12 letters I'd have to shrink the font a bit. I think I'll leave it a little while before making any major changes.

In your own time mate and/or not at all! It's your project, so no pressure. Was a more tongue-in-cheek request. It's fun to play with though and I like my current one. I can imagine a cute Rogue-like with the output from this though. Hey Deps, did you try Wumpus with the current version? |
