3 years ago The code for the bot: https://github.com/roice3/TilingBot is written in C#. Smells like something executed on the server side, in that case we need hosting beyond github, which serves only static (client side) pages.
This is a request for a bot that randomly picks a stitch from the list of all possible stitches, creates an image with several thread diagrams along the lines of https://d-bl.github.io/GroundForge/nets, and posts a "stitch of the day" image on Instagram. This would get eyes on at least some of the patterns.
For example, there is a bot that posts a new tiling pattern every day on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TilingBot.
It would be nice if the diagrams were drawn with the appearance of thread.
Below are some references to creating a rope appearance in Inkscape: https://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/202006/page04.html https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/140652/how-to-create-the-texture-of-a-rope-and-a-knot-on-inkscape https://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/2014/10/20/use-inkscape-to-draw-vector-rope-in-any-shape/
Alternatively, we could create a custom filter: https://inkscape.org/gallery/=inkscape-filter-set/ https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filters.html
