# Blob foxes emotes repository
3 years ago
A repository containing the "blobfox" emotes, [originally made by Feuerfuchs](https://web.archive.org/web/20211115174913/https://www.feuerfuchs.dev/en/projects/blobfox-emojis/)
and released under the Apache 2.0 license.
<!-- TODO: find new link+email for feuerfuchs -->
Work was initially made [on a public archive](https://git.lambdaurora.dev/lambdaurora/diverse_archive) to vectorized some of the blobfoxes,
but as more variants were created, the project needed a new, dedicated place to reside.
This repository also contains additional blobfoxes, blobcats and other blob animal characters, which are all made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
The goal of this project is to vectorize the entire set of blobfoxes.
Automation is key for that, and a solution that can generate clean (both in terms of readability and visual accuracy) results with minimal tweaking will have to be built.
If you enjoy this project, then come say hi here:
- [subreddit dedicated to this project](https://reddit.com/r/blobfox)
- matrix room (TODO)
## Installation and usage
*TODO :)*
## Project structure
*(this will likely have changed by the time you are reading this)*
- `blobfox.tar.gz` is the tar archive of the original set of blobfox emojis; run `mkdir original && tar -xf blobfox.tar.gz -C original` to uncompress the archive
- `custom/` contains PNG versions of variants based on the above archive that haven't been vectorized yet
- `vector/` contains vectorized versions of the blobfoxes (not necessary limited to the original blobfoxes)
