The C00L PXL app is an experiment by me Milan Kazarka on how to create an image processor that would create visually appealing art in the theme of the command line. You could put it into the same category as ASCII art and overall the aesthetics are inspired by the ‘ricing’ Unix community. C00L PXL doesn’t collect any data and it is a fun hobby project.
