PHP - monster avatar generator

Question

I have seen a avatar generator which makes monster creators, but I saw this a few years ago and now can't remember the name or find it with Google. Does anyone have a url?

Answer 1

You're thinking of MonsterID

MonsterID is a method to generate a unique monster image based upon a certain identifier (IP address, email address, whatever). It can be used to automatically provide personal avatar images in blog comments or other community services.

The download contains a PHP file which will generate a random monster by default. When given a seed request parameter the monster will be based on this parameter and will always be the same for the same parameter. A second optional parameter named size can be given to get a resized image.
