- na85 8y agoReminds me of that neat "brute forcing the devil" post from a few years ago.

- craigphares 8y agoYou're very welcome. Hope you make something awesome with it!
- warent 8y agoThis is cool. I wonder... If you enter "first" (https://icotar.com/avatar/first https://icotar.com/avatar/first) then enter in the primary color closest to the color of the background, a space, and the name of the picture, e.g. https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20snowflake https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20snowflake and continue doing this, how far could it go before leading to a cycle, and what is the average distance to a cycle given some arbitrary input? Sample: https://icotar.com/avatar/first https://icotar.com/avatar/first https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20snowflake https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20snowflake https://icotar.com/avatar/yellow%20plane https://icotar.com/avatar/yellow%20plane https://icotar.com/avatar/blue%20car https://icotar.com/avatar/blue%20car https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20waves https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20waves https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20moon https://icotar.com/avatar/green%20moon etc...

- deweller 8y agoThere are 672 different avatar combinations. This is a neat idea but that is not enough combinations to make this a useful public service.
- craigphares 8y agoIt's a start! What do you suggest the minimum number of combinations would be to make this more useful?
