hack club

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Fork the repo. github.com/hackclub/receipt -- everything you need is in editor/. It has to be this starter because my printer is fussy. Sowwy

  2. Make it yours. Edit sketch.js in your normal editor and save; check the corresponding preview. Pick a seed you like, hit Export PNG

  3. Ship it. Send your repo link and that PNG here and wait! I'll print it on a receipt printer and send it to you. Maybe I'll drop some stickers too ;>

QUESTIONS >_<

What can I make?

Anything that can fit on a receipt that you can done w/ p5.js!

What size is the receipt?

384 pixels wide!

What do I submit?

A public link to your repo and the PNG exported by the editor. Select your Hackatime project when submitting. Submit here.

Will you actually mail it to me?

Yep! I'll print your art on a receipt printer and mail it to you.
