PythonAutoNifty

Installation

pyautonifty is available from PyPI:

pip install --upgrade pyautonifty

Purpose

• Nifty.Ink (https://nifty.ink) allows you to create NFTs using a Microsoft-Paint-like tool, and mint the NFTs on the xDai blockchain
• This Python3 code allows you to automatically generate drawing instructions for Nifty.Ink
• This code can generate more complex and accurate patterns than it is possible to do by hand
• Your Nifty Ink NFTs may look better!

Instructions

• Check your Python3 environment is set up correctly (see below)
• Run: pip install pyautonifty
• Edit main.py file to draw something nice (see examples for inspiration) or create your own file
• Run: python3 main.py
• Output file output.txt is created
• Open this file, copy the text
• Go to https://nifty.ink
• Hit Create button
• Open Developer Console in web browser
• Paste the text from output.txt into the console, hit Enter
• Nifty.Ink should draw something nice!

Set up a Python virtualenv

Set up and activate the env in your local PythonAutoNifty folder, so this project dependencies are separate from your other projects:

python3 -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/PythonAutoNifty
source ~/.virtualenvs/PythonAutoNifty/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 list

Deactivate the env:

deactivate

• Setup a virtual environment if you prefer
• Run: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
