Little Box Robot - a Python Processing program to animate a ro(bot)

An experiment with Processing and Python to generate a simple looping animation.

The code:

The result:

8bitify - an image based twitter bot

8bitify is a twitter bot that takes the image and text that you tweet to him and turns it into an 8bit console cut scene.

Example Tweet:

Tweet to @8bitify now to get your 8 bit cut scene!
