Avatar Encoder (Playing with characters IV)
This is the third program in which I play with characters and information. In my others posts I talked about how words can be change and remain understandable, and about how many possible words and texts there are. Now I bring to you a new codification that you can use. I hope that you like it and use it. It is an Avatar Creator in which you can put text information and grey-scale images. Here are some examples:
This Avatars have been created with Avatar Encoder. The first one stores personal information, and no image. The second one it is an image imported with AvatarEncoder. And the third and fourth stores information and an image. As you can see, the program fill the free space with noise in order to get that DeadChannel (or white-noise) look ;)
(You will need to have installed the JRE that you can download here)
The program is easy to use, you can write the information you want (up to 4550 bytes, that is about 2 pages) in the text area or you can first load an image and after that attach some information. Then you can change the television colours and save the final image. If you want to see the information in the avatar of other person, load the image and the text will appear in the text area.
The image can be use as an Avatar or as a way to compress and send information in a simple small image. I may improve the program in the future with new features like adding and second key image as a way to encrypt the information and do it only readable with the key image or doing it in colour (I haven’t done it in colour because I was no sure about the gif format would permit enough colours. Besides, it would take more space and I wanted to do it as small as I could…)
I look forward to your suggestions and opinions, thanks.

pero la imagen está hecha con los caracteres? o es que va codificada dentro? (cual virus?)

La imagen está hecha de caracteres convertidos a valores RGB, en realidad a un solo valor que se introduce en la R la G y la B, es decir, en un tono de gris. cada pixel de la imagen tiene correspondencia con un carácter.
