pixelpwnr

A quick pixelflut (video) client in Rust for use at 34C3, that pwns whole pixelflut panels.

Note: This is a prototype project. Some things may not work correctly. Or some things may work slow.

Features

• Many concurrent drawing pipes, fast multithreading
• Animated images, with multiple frame images
• Control over render sizes and offset
• Automatic image sizing and formatting
• Faster than most other clients :-)
• Linux, Windows and macOS

Usage

Pixelflut a simple image:

# Flut a simple image.
# - To host 127.0.0.1 on port 8080
# - With the image: image.png
# - With 4 painting threads
# - With the size of the screen (default)
pixelpwnr 127.0.0.1:8080 -i image.png -c 4

# Other CLI syntax is also supported
pixelpwnr "127.0.0.1:8080" --image="image.png" -c=4

Pixelflut an animated image:

# Flut an animated image, with multiple frames.
# - To host 127.0.0.1 on port 8080
# - With the images: *.png
# - With 5 frames per second
# - With 4 painting threads
# - With a size of (400, 400)
# - With an offset of (100, 100)
pixelpwnr 127.0.0.1:8080 -i *.png --fps 5 -c 4 -w 400 -h 400 -x 100 -y 100
