Identicon

Opens a PNG file populated with an identicon derived from:

• an input string (arbitrary)
• a dimension (number of squares across and down)
• a size (overall width and height in pixels)

Based on the course The Complete Elixir and Phoenix Bootcamp by Stephen Grider.

Usage

To use Identicon locally, run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/RaymondLoranger/identicon
