# RoboHash
The source code for [RoboHash.org](https://robohash.org/).
It basically copy/pastes various robot pictures together, using bits from
the SHA hash. It's not perfect, and not entirely secure, but it gives
a good gut-check to "Hey, this SHA is wrong."
## Install
Just the library:
```bash
$ pip install robohash
```
Or if you also want the web frontend:
```bash
$ pip install robohash[web]
```
## Usage
```python
from robohash import Robohash
hash = "whatever-hash-you-want"
rh = Robohash(hash)
rh.assemble(roboset='any')
with open("path/to/new/file.png", "w") as f:
rh.img.save(f, format="png")
```
## Robosets
RoboHash comes with three image sets, named "set1", "set2", and "set3". Specify
which set you want in the `assemble()` method. Alternatively, specify the string
"any", and RoboHash will pick an image set for you, based on the provided hash.
The "set1" artwork was created by Zikri Kader. The "set2" artwork was created by
Hrvoje Novakovic. The "set3" artwork was created by Julian Peter Arias.

## Disclaimer
OK, I'll admit I'm a crappy programmer. Compounding this, I wrote this code
initially to be internal-only. It's ugly, and could be a LOT nicer.
Sorry about that.
