Usage

Generate Your Game GIF

Transform your GitHub contributions into an epic space shooter!

# Basic usage - generates username-gh-space-shooter.gif
gh-space-shooter <username>

# Examples
gh-space-shooter torvalds
gh-space-shooter octocat

# Specify custom output filename
gh-space-shooter torvalds --output my-epic-game.gif
gh-space-shooter torvalds -o my-game.gif

# Choose enemy attack strategy
gh-space-shooter torvalds --strategy column   # Enemies attack in columns
gh-space-shooter torvalds --strategy row      # Enemies attack in rows
gh-space-shooter torvalds -s random           # Random chaos (default)

This creates an animated GIF showing:

• Your contribution graph as enemies (more contributions = stronger enemies)
• A Galaga-style spaceship battling through your coding history
• Enemy attack patterns based on your chosen strategy
• Smooth animations with randomized particle effects
• Your contribution stats displayed in the console

Advanced Options

# Save raw contribution data to JSON
gh-space-shooter torvalds --raw-output data.json

# Load from previously saved JSON (saves API rate limits)
gh-space-shooter --raw-input data.json --output game.gif

# Combine options
gh-space-shooter torvalds -o game.gif -ro data.json -s column
