Inspiration

Octocat Drawing contest

What it does

Draws octocat

How I built it

Uses ML trained on octocat images to draw new ones and tweets it out using a Google Cloud Function that uses tweepy. https://github.com/Activelius/KnightHacks2020/tree/master

Challenges I ran into

Scraping the images was a bit of a challenge, as it involved pulling a har file from twitter after scrolling sufficiently enough on a #myOctocat search and filtering out all the image urls. Docker does not work well on Mac; this hurt the ML development enough to not make it in time

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Making a working Twitter bot using the Google Cloud ecosystem.

What's next for Octocat Drawer

Finishing the ML part and waiting for the next contest.
