Meme-Bot

A reversed engineered version of ShitpostBot 5000 using Pillow (PIL-fork)

Instructions:

• To add a template:

  You must manually capture the box where each source image will be pasted, inside sizes.json

  Inside sizes.json the legend goes as follows:

  • background = Background of the space where the source image is pasted. There are 3 options:

    • b = black background
    • w = white background
    • o = Over. Source Image is pasted on top of the template, there's no background

  • boxes = Is a list of the dictionaries (box) that contains info for box.

    Each box contains 2 keys that have tuples as values:

    • size = Size of the box
    • left_corner = Coordinates for the top-left corner of the box
    • Note: if you want to repeat the same Source Image used before, but at different coordinates and/or size, you need to add a new key called repeat_prev with True value. This is used in Templates/5.png

Side-note: If you prefer the previously used sizes.txt format instead of the current sizes.json, you can use the current release along with a script I made to convert sizes.txt to JSON format.

• Regarding Source Images:

  Although not necessary, I recommend you to number the source images to easily identify the source images used in a given meme, since its filename is made using the format: Template-SrcImg1-SrcImg2-...-SrcImgN.png

• Dependencies

  For the script to work you must have Pillow (a friendly PIL fork). You can install it using pip install Pillow or with easy_install Pillow. For more information on its documentation/installation go here.

And ta-da! You're ready to make some dank -but most importantly- randomly generated memes. Have fun!

Author's note:

If you wish to integrate the bot with Twitter I recommend this repository, although the non-repeating image validation doesn't work (16/09/2017).

meme-bot's Issues

No support for multiple-layer templates

As of the moment, the script doesn't accept custom backgrounds nor layers above the template. You can only paste above an image (template) or overlay a template over source image(s)
