Dynamically generated pylogram cartoons
Aug. 15th, 2012 01:14 amAfter rather too much fiddling, I have a simple Django website on Heroku that uses the Pylogram cartoons. So anyone can create a simple two-figure one-panel cartoon.
Create a new cartoon: http://toons.herokuapp.com/
Example: http://toons.herokuapp.com/toons/fxyne
Obviously, I would like to fix the alignment and spacing of the text and add word wrap, and add some layout so the page has something other than a couple of text boxes at the top.
And obviously, this level of example is not very useful, but I like the idea because the dynamic generation of the cartoon means that anything else you can specify (extra panels, captions, hats, furniture, etc) can immediately be used by anyone. The biggest hurdle is an interface for people to specify it.
Some of that basically works but isn't in the website example yet, and I'm away for a week, and due for a break from coding, so I may not do so soon.
