ProGenx64 PFP Generator
Project Summary
The ProGenx64 is a profile picture generator that generates lightweight pictures at 64 x 64. The generation speed is dependent on your CPU, which controls the amount it is able to generate per second. The web version is a demo that allows you to view the program, but it doesn't allow for bulk downloads. All downloads will be output to an "output" folder, each file named with a unique UUID.
Personal Writeup
I have always been fascinated by the technology used to generate profile art in applications. I enjoy the charm of them, ranging from the customizability to the uniqueness of knowing that you are the only person with this profile picture. Through this interest, I decided to create an art/programming project based on these systems. This app was designed by combining the GitHub profile picture system and the customizability of the Nintendo Mii or Villager from Animal Crossing.

I'm really happy with how this project turned out as I aimed to finish it before Halloween of 2025. I hand drew every element and selected various color palettes from Lospec. The faces were supposed to be simple and fun, so anybody can choose one that represented them the best. I originally planned to make it an API so it could get called by JavaScript for maybe social media profiles, but I got lazy and did not want to figure out emscripten file downloading. In the future I would love to revisit this concept and add more functionality.
