Generate pixel art color by number from an image.

For My Sons

They're obsessed with these and the internet doesn't have enough cool ones.

This let's them find any pic. Like this one:

Turn it into pixel art. Like this:

And then print out a PDF of a color by number grid. Like this:

It's not perfect.

Yet.

But it's a real fun start!

How to Use

• Get pics and put them in the pics folder.
• Open terminal and run the Python script. All you have to declare is the output size in pixels.
• The bigger the number, the more detailed the pixel grid. We found that between 30x30 and 50x50 work best. We've only tested square outputs so far.
• This will create a 30x30 grid output in a printable PDF in the templates folder.

python3 pixel_color_by_number 30 30

• you'll also get the pixel art image in the pixel_art folder.

• (both of those folders will automatically be generated. All you need to start is at least one image in a pics folder).

• This will loop through all the images in the folder, so you can add a bunch of them.

• If you re-run the code with a different dimensions, it'll replace both the templates and pixel_art outputs with the new results.
