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 frames
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 a size of (400, 400)
pixelpwnr 127.0.0.1:8080 -i image.png -c 4 -w 400 -h 400

# Other CLI syntax is also supported
pixelpwnr "127.0.0.1:8080" -i="image.png" -c=4 -w=400 -h=400

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
