thanks

• to @InboxAppCo who made the MIT licensed emoji extractor that's been subtree'd in, but is not a runtime dependency
• to @DavidBarts who made the getfonts package that's been illegally subtree'd in. they took a lot of flack for it on reddit because of IANAL but EULA amirite, and it's unlicensed so i've included their copyrighted code in this project.
• Mihai Potra whose MIT licensed find-color script is included here with some features removed to make it work for me
• everyone who made any of the dependencies
• the people i love and the people who love me and most especially the intersect

story

the first thing i did was i extracted the TTF (true type) font files from the TTC collection at /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Color Emoji.ttc using the getfonts script that's subtree'd in here, but was written by @DavidBarts (who posted about it on reddit and then everyone told them they were bad). then i extracted the emoji from the ttfs using the extract-emoji script here, that was by @InboxAppCo (or by @devangovett according to the package.json).

then i created a plain text file that i've called database to annoy rich hickey, which contains one-per-line of: emoji red green blue alpha, of the average colour of the image reported by the image-average-color npm package.

then, the picture that's given on the command line is sliced up into a grid the size of the [tilesize] provided on the command line (defaults to 32), then the average colour of each slice is matched as closely as it can be (by Mihai's find-color script) to one of the emoji average colours, then the emoji are printed out in that same grid.
