Homer: on-the-fly screenshot maker
« on: August 19, 2011, 01:00:20 pm »


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, 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/

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.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

To complement ephan's UI, and whatever Deep Thought has in the works, I made a very simple UI that doesn't even require any JavaScript and can be found at http://calcdude84se.tk/homer.html

@ephan and calcdude: I didn't know you were working on UIs (calcdude, yours isn't loading :()! Here's mine: http://clrhome.org/homer/

@leafiness: Win ;D

Named after you :P
btw Θ (alt+233) doesn't work.
See my first post:
The [ character is actually theta. Blame TI for that.

I made an UI because you hadn't made one yet :)

Small update: The UI 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 and then find the appropriate character in http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Evil :P

Does it use periods or those weird, hovering dots?
