PixelCanvasBot

This is a functional bot for pixelcanvas.io. We will not provide you with a faster drawing. It does not allow you to easily draw your image. You need to spend some effort. This bot can draw images that you can't normally draw on your place.

What you can do with this?

Well, you can draw some image and try replicate in pixelcanvas.io. You can combine with your friends or clan, whatever for combine forces to draw more quickly or defend your 'territory'.

I can use any image and this bot will draw for me?

You can use any image. Converted your image colors to nearest PixelCanvas.io color for every pixel. Conversion result images if not exist in ./img/.cache folder created. You can interfere with this file or you can preview it to be drawn.

Installation

get python

Install python for yours operation systems in here https://www.python.org/downloads/ All Python version from 2.7 supported

Download bot

With git

PixelCanvas.io frequently changes the API validation system. We are updated after we notice. It can be a bit late, we can not guarantee it in any way. Recommend GIT for the current use

If you have not installed git?

• get git and install from https://git-scm.com/downloads

Clone bot

Open Terminal (git bash, cmd vs.) enter this command

• git clone https://github.com/RogerioBlanco/PixelCanvasBot.git

Optional downlad lastest zip archive

https://github.com/RogerioBlanco/PixelCanvasBot/archive/master.zip

Setup bot

Navigate to the Directory with the Bot

• cd PixelCanvasBot
• python ./setup.py

Using

Easy to use, only required parameters:

• python ./main.py -i image.png -x 0 -y 0
  • Coordinates are where you want the top-left corner of the image to start
  • Image route is relative to main.py

or if the coordinates are in the filename:

• python ./main.py -i image\_x\_y.png

or if reCaptcha is currently enabled in pixelcanvas:

• python ./main.py -i image.png -x 0 -y 0 -f $FINGERPRINT$

replace '$FINGERPRINT$' values to your fingerprint (has include $ charecters)

Geting yours fingerprint Chrome or chromium

Note that the fingerprint is optional and just needed if pixelcanvas has reCaptcha enabled.

• go http://pixelcanvas.io
• press F12
• open network tab
• in filter input paste 'pixel'
• put yours pixel any coordinates
• click request name pixel
• open headers tab
• your fingerprint is under Request Playload

What is each parameter?

Need to help?
Try it 'python ./main.py --help' maybe more usefull.

• [required] -i or --image it is the image you want to draw.

• [required if not in filename] -x or --start_x it is the point X axis what you want to begin. Ex: 156

• [required if not in filename] -y or --start_y it is the point y axis what you want to begin. Ex: -4000

• [optional] -f or --fingerprint it is your unique code. You can get in the requisition when you open Chrome DevTools.

• [optional] --stealth Wait additional random 0.3 to 1.3s after cooldown to seem more human

• [optional] --colors_ignored Ignored current image colors For example image only black and red colors painting. Ex: 0 1 2 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 found in colors.py

• [optional] --colors_not_overwrite Ignored pixelcanvas.io colors. For example only black colors removing if this image image not equals black. Ex: 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 found in colors.py

• [optional] --draw_strategy draw strategy default by: randomize Avaiable strategy list :

  • linear : line by line paint,

  • spiral : Inwards spiral. Will draw a 5x5 square in this order:

      | 01 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 |
      | 02 | 16 | 23 | 22 | 11 |
      | 03 | 17 | 24 | 21 | 10 |
      | 04 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 09 |
      | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 08 |
    

    Keep it mind that the strategy actually starts at the center of the image and spirals out, then starts backtracking inwards to draw from the edges in. As such the corner we start drawing from will depend on the proportions of your image.

  • qf : Quickfill line by line. Will draw a 5x5 square in this order:

      | 01 | 14 | 02 | 15 | 03 |
      | 16 | 04 | 17 | 05 | 18 |
      | 06 | 19 | 07 | 20 | 08 |
      | 21 | 09 | 22 | 10 | 23 |
      | 11 | 24 | 12 | 25 | 13 |
    

  • randomize : pixel paint random coordinates,

  • status : not painted only list paint status --support colors ignored parameters, don't suppurt sketch mode--

  • sketch : Don't fill image drawing image only bordes. see more information #6

  • detect : Wait time detector. Don't fill image drawing random color pixel to random coordinates every time. Ignored start point and ignored image. this strategy return wait time in any coordinates with pixelcanvas.io [experimental:notFinished]

  • tlc : Print start fill Top Left Corner -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • trc : Print start fill Top Right Corner -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • blc : Print start fill Bottom Left Corner -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • brc : Print start fill Bottom Right Corner -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • cnb : Print start fill Centre North Boundary -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • csb : Print start fill Centre South Boundary -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • cwb : Print start fill Centre West Boundary -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • ceb : Print start fill Centre East Boundary -randomize tracking select all pixel-

  • cpd : Print start fill Centre Point Domain -randomize tracking select all pixel-

Note:

The rcm-domain based strategyes are defined using a number of reference points shown in the figure below: Good and half randomize drawing but maybe a big image bad performance problems.

Detect mode maybe alternative using. RANDOM COLOR BOMP, need 2 parameters

For example this result for --draw_strategy detect --detect_area_min_range 4800 --detect_area_max_range 4825 parameters. visit at http://pixelcanvas.io/@4800,4800

• [optional] --mode_defensive is the mode who put the program mode deamon. Default: True

• [optional] --proxy_url it is you proxy. Ex: proxy.yourcompany.com:8080

• [optional] --proxy_auth it is your credentials for the proxy. Ex: username:password

• [optional] --round_sensitive it is color rounding sensitive option. Need this number > 0 ex: 3

• [optional] --image_brightness it is change image brignets, Support negative values ex: 15 or -15

Note:

--round_sensitive --image_brightness parameters to You can change the degree of rounding precision, or you can make the picture that is to be drawn darker - lighter. see work result: #45

• [optional] --detect_area_min_range Support negative values ex: 3000 or -3000 Default -3000 max avaliable value 999999 / -999999

• [optional] --detect_area_max_range Support negative values ex: 3000 or -3000 Default 3000 max avaliable value 999999 / -999999

Note:

--detect_area_min_range --detect_area_max_range parameters only work at detect strategyes

• [optional] --QR_text Your url or some text value Generate PNG image this bots ./img/QRcode.png images And drawing new generatied image to other parameters. Important this value changing image file and ignoring -i parameters value For example '-i j:\asfdas --QR_text http://github.com' Working with QRcode image.

• [optional] --QR_scale QRcode image size Default 3 this value pxel based. '1' to min image size

• [optional] --xreversed Draw x axis from right to left. Set to True or False (default False)

• [optional] --yreversed Draw y axis from bottom to top. Set to True or False (default False)

Note:

The reverse parameters only work on the linear draw strategies (linear and quickfill). Use to choose which corner to draw linearly from (default is top left corner).
