Primitive Pictures VS stretchly

TIL about https://github.com/fogleman/primitive from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster-to-vect...

Looks great! I've been thinking of having my own attempt at something like this ever since I saw a similar idea at primitive.lol

Looks like it's made with https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

If you're looking for a more artistic arrangement of coloured blocks, and you've got some skills (or a Mac), there is this one application that's fun to play with. But I'm sure there are other ways.

Some examples off the top of my head (not game-dev specific) are https://www.michaelfogleman.com/ (creator of https://primitive.lol/), Marco Arment (https://marco.org/ - Overcast), or Pieter Levels (sadly as I write this I found that his blog seems to have been taken down and just redirects to his twitter https://twitter.com/levelsio?ref=levels.io - but still has a laundry list of projects old and new in his twitter bio)

Any ideas on how I could simply cross-compile a non-module GitHub repository to three different architectures with predictable filenames? I wouldn't mind setting up a go.mod file, the problem is I would like to compile the executable in the github.com/fogleman/primitive repository, not my own code.

Consider an SVG from [Primitive](https://github.com/fogleman/primitive) and a mostly-transparent overlay containing the diff against the original image. Tuning Primitive is not entirely deterministic (like your algorithm) and I think a human interface for the front-end would allow a few knobs to erase parts of the diff in order to shrink the detail imperceptively. Seems like a good opportunity for a contest :)

I think stroke-based painting methods like these are neat: https://github.com/jiupinjia/stylized-neural-painting https://github.com/fogleman/primitive

Nice job, i think below software are good for windows user too.

A similar piece of software (which I use and can recommend) is Stretchly

Depends... Is your goal to write an entire application to do this for you? You can use notify-send which is already linked with libnotify to do that, or look at a pre-existing application like https://github.com/hovancik/stretchly that might be more like what you're wanting to do...

stretchly is a free open-source cross-platform app that automatically forces you to take breaks, get a glass of water, stand up, look into the distance, move your head, etc. I use it every day and it’s awesome.

Break time reminder apps like stretchly or workrave.
