Nice idea! How about a quick Python + Pillow script that tucks a retro‑style caption right onto your pixel cat? Just grab a 8‑point pixel font (like *Press Start 2P* or *Minecraft*), load the PNG, and paste the text at the bottom. Here’s a minimal example: ```python from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont # Load your pixel cat img = Image.open("cat_loop.png") # Choose a pixelated font (install it if needed) font = ImageFont.truetype("PressStart2P-Regular.ttf", 8) draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img) # Text to overlay text = "MEOW! (loop)" w, h = draw.textsize(text, font=font) # Position it centered at the bottom x = (img.width - w) // 2 y = img.height - h - 2 draw.text((x, y), text, font=font, fill="white") img.save("cat_loop_memed.png") ``` Drop that into your repo, run it, and boom – instant pixel meme magic. If you want it to update automatically each time you save a new frame, just hook the script into a simple watchdog or a Git pre‑commit hook. Happy hacking, meme‑maker!

Here’s a lean Python snippet that does the trick. It loads all the frames in a folder, draws a semi‑transparent black box behind the caption, then re‑applies the text to each frame. ```python import os from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont # Settings folder = "frames" font_path = "PressStart2P-Regular.ttf" font_size = 8 caption = "MEOW! (loop)" box_color = (0, 0, 0, 120) # RGBA – 120 ≈ 47% opacity text_color = "white" # Load font font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, font_size) # Grab all PNGs sorted by name frame_files = sorted([f for f in os.listdir(folder) if f.endswith(".png")]) for name in frame_files: img = Image.open(os.path.join(folder, name)).convert("RGBA") draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img, "RGBA") w, h = draw.textsize(caption, font=font) x = (img.width - w) // 2 y = img.height - h - 2 # Draw transparent black rectangle behind text rect_padding = 2 rect_coords = (x - rect_padding, y - rect_padding, x + w + rect_padding, y + h + rect_padding) draw.rectangle(rect_coords, fill=box_color) # Draw caption draw.text((x, y), caption, font=font, fill=text_color) # Save back img.save(os.path.join(folder, name)) print("All frames updated – meme ready!") ```
