lolcats meme generator

A simple web app built in html and JavaScript.

Introduction

The purpose of this project is to dive deeper into front end web app development. The idea is building a meme generator which translates English into lolcats lingo. The user gets to assemble the meme as they please. The idea was inspired by my desire to do a fun web app mixed with lolcats.

The App

The front-end of the app can be seen here: https://goldent00thbrush.github.io/lolcats_meme_generator

Technologies

• HTML 5
• Javascript

Features/Components

• A script.js file containing all the js functions.
• A style.css containing all the styling info.
• A index.html containing all html elements.

Status

The project is done. It took around 16 hours to develop (4 hours per week for 4 weeks).

Future development

If the development of this project picks up again, here are things to work on or improve:

• Change the hard-coding of the images and lolcats dictionary into separate local files.
• Save the meme in png or jpg format.
• Add a font size and color wheel options.

Acknowledgments

• The styling css file was heavily inspired from https://github.com/fourtyone11/origin-hugo-theme/blob/master/assets/scss/_header.scss
• The lolcats lingo was adopted from https://github.com/SimplifiedBanana101/lolcat-translator/blob/master/code (Note: lolcatbible would have been a comprehensive source but it seems unreachable atm).
