# PixelGen

Text-to-pixel-art with **1,257 hand-written parameters and zero training steps**. Prompts like `"red potion"` or `"blue invader"` become 16×16 PICO-8 sprites, upscaled to crisp pixel art. Every weight was typed in by hand — a real `nn.Module` whose "training program" is its source code.

Model card, weights and experiments: [DJLougen/pixelgen](https://huggingface.co/DJLougen/pixelgen).

The `pixelgen/` package, `weights/pixelgen.pt` checkpoint and `LICENSE` are vendored verbatim from the [MIT-licensed model repo](https://huggingface.co/DJLougen/pixelgen).
