@kaleid_o_bot is a bot that will take an image you send to it, and run it through an algorithm to make it look like you are seeing it through a kaleidoscope.

You can send any image and it will tweet the results back to you. If you want, you can pass a few options:

• animating: You can choose to animate the output or not. If you pass #animate the bot will animate the output to make a funky kaleidoscope effect. If you pass #noanimate the bot will return a static image. The whole animation process is definitely a work in progress, and could fail at any moment.
• weighting: You can pass one of these options to specify which section of the image you would like to focus on:
  • #northwest
  • #north
  • #northeast
  • #east
  • #southeast
  • #south
  • #southwest
  • #west
  • #center
• Slices: You can specify how many slices you want. Basically the algorithm will make an image with a chunk of the source image mirrored this many times. Here's the options:
  • #4slices
  • #8slices
  • #12slices
  • #16slices
  • #20slices
  • #24slices

NOTE: If you don't pass an option, a random option will be chosen for you
