A clever app that hides secrets within photos of cats.
Photos are downloaded within the app from TheCatAPI.

I cannot distribute an executable version (yet), but a demo is available here and the instructions to build it yourself are simple (and listed below).

Building

If you want to build your own copy or even create your own version, the steps are simple:
Note: the encryption functionality is hidden from github. This is to simply build an app that views cat photos.

1. Clone or fork this repository (requires git) or simply download the source code
2. Download and install Haxe
3. Follow the instructions to install HaxeFlixel
4. If you aren't going to use Neko, you'll need to set lime up for your OS
   • Windows: Setup Windows
   • Windows: Setup MacOS
   • Windows: Setup Linux
5. Without a key to TheCatAPI, the code will compile into a demo build which will use predetermined photos and data. To get around this, get yourself a key, then add -DCAT_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE" to your build command. (Windows example: lime build windows -DCAT_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE")

Note:

This is built with Windows and HTML5 in mind. I do not have the means to test on Mac or Linux, so those builds may not function as expected.

If you have any questions, leave them in the discussions tab.
