Title: Homer: on-the-fly screenshot maker
Post by: Deep Toaster on August 19, 2011, 01:00:20 pm
(http://clrhome.org/homer/ERR:DOMAIN%D6%FF1:%FFQuit%D62:Goto.gif)

Looks like an ordinary screenshot, right? (Well, except for the actual content :P) But here's the URL: http://clrhome.org/homer/ERR:DOMAIN%D6%FF1:%FFQuit%D62:Goto.gif

This is Homer (http://clrhome.org/resources/homer/), a quick web project to create on-the-fly homescreen images from any text you pass to it. I'll probably add a UI soon.

EDIT: Done! Access it at http://clrhome.org/homer/!

EDIT2: Added a charmap! Now you can do weird stuff like add a cursor.

EDIT3: Inverse color support—see http://ourl.ca/10023/196436/ for details.

That program is sure looking neat!

I just made an UI Deep, you can find it here:

http://ephan.57o9.org/HomerUI/ (http://ephan.57o9.org/HomerUI/)

I made it in a few minutes, I'll add some stuff saying Homer is a project made by Deep Thought, but it's functional for now.

Small update: The UI (http://clrhome.org/resources/homer/) now does line breaks correctly in Chrome and Safari. No other browsers support it yet.

EDIT: Another small update: Fixed overlapping text in IE.

Maybe a char table?

For special characters, look in http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/83lgfont (http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/83lgfont) and then find the appropriate character in http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm (http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm). Sorry for the inconvenience.

And because each time each image is loaded, it saps resources from Juju's server :P

Actually, I have CloudFlare cache all my images, so server load is actually pretty minimal.

And an awesome update: A char map (http://clrhome.org/resources/homer/) is now available!

Doesn't work on the first row of http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/83lgfont but then the only thing you might need from it would be n.

makes newlines
to fit the words

them (like this)

But the picture

Post by: Darl181 on August 19, 2011, 06:39:12 pm
Is there a way to have the browser treat it as individual chars, instead of words?
Maybe after every char (for the textarea) use a different font, 1 "pixel" narrower and have some special space char (the 1 pix between the tokens) separate into not-words?

Yes. Yes it is.

Bug report: When there's a character in the last two columns, in the pic, there will be an extra newline added...picture explanation:
Here's what I enter in Homer:
Saying stuff yay
This is text!!!
W00t


As you see, no extra newlines.
Here's the picture:
(http://clrhome.tk/resources/homer/?t=Saying+stuff+yay%0D%0AThis+is+text%21%21%21%0D%0AW00t)
Extra newlines after "Saying stuff yay" and "This is text!!!" because there are characters in the last two columns of the pic.
Title: Re: On-the-fly screenshots (homescreen only)
Post by: Deep Toaster on August 20, 2011, 01:28:04 pm
The extra newline after "Saying stuff yay" is correct (since that's the way the calculator handles a full line). The one after "This is text!!!" is a bug, and it has been fixed :)

And another update: awesome font now works in Internet Exploader :w00t:

EDIT: And fixed some proportions.

And because each time each image is loaded, it saps resources from Juju's server :P

Else I'll add a CAPTCHA/take it down/whatever.

Thanks. I came up with the idea because when I write tutorials, I like providing actual screenshots for code (see http://omniurl.tk/6825/125654/ (http://omniurl.tk/6825/125654/), for instance), but typing and screenshotting in WabbitEmu for every few lines was taking too long. And so I thought of a way I could generate screenshot-like images that could be dynamically changed whenever I wanted, even if I didn't have an emulator nearby.
Title: Re: On-the-fly screenshots (homescreen only)
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 31, 2011, 03:09:21 pm
Yeah that really speed things up. Sometimes I also want to show an example of ASCII graphics to someone for map ideas and I have to use WabbitEmu, which gets annoying when it's just for a screenshot.

I just realized... Thanks to a certain feature of Unicode standards, Homer isn't capable of displaying subscript characters (such as the 1 in L1) and maybe a few others characters. How important are these to you?

Deep, my resolution is 1366*768. What if you made HOMER UI Maker work like that webpage of yours that requires no scrolling?

I mean, I see a lot of space you can cut and make it work for computers with resolution minor than 724 (lower than that is hard and would break design).

I'm not sure if it's doable, but it would look better.

Done. Better?

And I fixed the issue with subscripts. Use %80 for [size=0]0[/size], %81 for [size=0]1[/size], and so on.

How does one go about actually getting the screenshot? :( Nevermind, didn't see the syntax part of the OP lol.

Click "Screenshot"? It redirects you to the image, which you can link to/save/whatever.

Yeah, I didn't see the syntax part of the OP, but when I clicked Screenshot the first time I went there it didn't redirect me.

I just happened to be testing something at that moment. It should be working now :)

Crazy timing on my part then lol. But yup, it's all working :D

If you'd timed it even better you could have seen a blank page :P

Any suggestions? ephan suggested limiting the textarea at eight rows, and I'm trying to do that right now.

Yeah, I noticed the more-than-8-row thing too. I don't think it's really that bad, but if you don't fix it, I'd say just do a check to see if the user goes over and when they press "Screenshot" just let them know it won't all be captured or something.

Hey, that's a good idea. I have other bugs to deal with ATM though.

You know what would be a terrible, terrible idea for a new error message? This:

(http://clrhome.org/homer/ERR:MISSING%20)%D6%FF1:%FFQuit%D62:Goto.gif)

But yeah, inverse color support! Just wrap whatever text you want inverted with %FF in the URL. (This image is at http://clrhome.org/homer/ERR:MISSING%20)%0D%0A%FF1:%FFQuit%0D%0A2:Goto.gif (http://clrhome.org/homer/ERR:MISSING%20)%0D%0A%FF1:%FFQuit%0D%0A2:Goto.gif).)

I don't think there's another thread with as many invalid links per post as this XD

The site's been moved to clrhome.org, so Homer's at http://clrhome.org/homer/ now.

Yay for breaking even more links!

Homer has been moved one directory higher, and the URL format has changed as well. The new URLs are of the form http://clrhome.org/homer/[TEXT].[FORMAT], where [TEXT] is the URL-encoded text and [FORMAT] can be any of 'gif', 'png', or 'jpg'.

The benefit here (besides allowing JPEG and PNG images in addition to GIF) is that images are now cacheable—when you use the same URL, the image isn't fetched again, saving a lot of your browser load and server load here.

Hmm... can we actually parse 8xp files and text files containing, for example SourceCoder stuff, because I wonder how well this would work if parsing code from Illusiat 13 event programs, for example. Would my computer's 8 GB of RAM be enough to open such image? O.O

Well if it requires server RAM, then I doubt it, considering it doesn't even have enough to run MediaWiki properly. :P
