🌟 Why Artists on GitHub?

GitHub is not just for programmers. It is for creators.

In enjoy, art:

  • Lives in the repository forever
  • Can be interactive (animated SVGs!)
  • Can react to game state
  • Becomes part of the collective story

🎯 How to Contribute Art

1. Static Art (Easy)

Images, illustrations, logos.

Accepted formats:

  • SVG (preferred - scalable!)
  • PNG (with transparency)
  • GIF (simple animations)

How to do it:

  1. Create your artwork
  2. Fork the repository
  3. Add to art/gallery/your_username/
  4. Open PR with label art

2. Generative Art (Medium)

SVGs that change based on variables.

<!-- Example: circle that changes color based on karma -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100">
  <style>
    @keyframes pulse {
      0%, 100% { opacity: 0.5; }
      50% { opacity: 1; }
    }
    .karma-circle { animation: pulse 2s infinite; }
  </style>
  <circle class="karma-circle" cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="url(#karma-gradient)"/>
  <defs>
    <linearGradient id="karma-gradient">
      <stop offset="0%" stop-color="#8b5cf6"/>
      <stop offset="100%" stop-color="#ec4899"/>
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>
</svg>

3. Procedural Art (Advanced)

Art generated by GitHub Actions workflows.

Existing examples:

  • assets/svg/karma-pulse.svg - Pulses with state
  • assets/svg/level-progress.svg - Shows progress
  • assets/svg/celebration-*.svg - Achievement celebrations

You do not need to be "good". You just need to want to create.

The void awaits your art. 🎨💜
