Processing Images Bot for Reddit /r/processingimages V1.3.0

This bot uses the Processing language to take a randomly selected image from any subreddit on Reddit.com and alters it.

Some premade sketches will be used from https://www.openprocessing.org/ please check it out.

Using the Processing.py Java compiler I am writing processing code in python. Check out the subreddit:

https://reddit.com/r/processingimages

Config.yml If you wish to use this bot here is the configuration.

processing.config:
  processing.path:
    sketches:  #List of templates
      - "template_circle"
      - "template_letters"
      - "template_line"
