Image to light pole converter?

Post by AngledLuffa »

Having seen the glory that is miditorio for converting music to factorio blueprints (I now have a blueprint for Baby Shark and a separate blueprint that waits 3 minutes to play Baby Shark for ... reasons), I got to wondering, is there a similar converter that takes images or videos and converts them to light displays? Light poles with combinators to set their color should be pretty effective for rendering simple images.

Obviously the color palette would be very limited, but perhaps with 2x2 squares of lights you could get some dithering effects to increase color depth at the cost of resolution.

Google searching turned up a few tools which produce map art, but I didn't see anything that does a light display.

That's pretty sweet. Thanks for linking it! Also sounds like it's not really practical, sadly. Maybe single images would work well, though
