Secret Ink
This project started because I simply couldn’t find the thing I wanted: A good SCP-like-generator-with-built-in-redactions that looked like it was actually typed on paper. However, as I started working on it, I soon came to realize that this was hard to find for a reason.
A puddle as deep as an ocean
If you never went down the rabbit hole of how you get from the **char** primitive of 8-bit binary to _these words on the screen_ (shut up about utf-8, I know, it's more than 1 byte, kinda), you will soon realize that it is way more complicated than you think. This modified xkcd comic from the [HarfBuzz github](https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz) page should at least give you some idea of the strange complexity we are dealing with here, and HarfBuzz isn't even the whole of it, that's just for _text shaping_. That doesn't even cover: - Rasterizing
- Word-Wrapping
- UTF-8
- Fonts
- Locales
- Inevitable hopelessness
So, needless to say, I had a lot more work cut out for me than I thought. Hopefully I can go more in depth with all of that, but right now, I am putting this on the backburner. I will make it avalible to anyone who wants to look at my awful code. 
Config file
I did add a config file to make the setup somewhat easier, but just keep in mind that you will have to download/specify your own fonts and page textures, since I didn’t want to put those on my repo.
