Q: Which programs do you use to generate the pony files?
A: The pony files are actually mostly a bunch of selected browser
ponies that are generated into cow files via img2xterm or util-say.

Providing ponies
================
Most pony images are browser ponies or desktop ponies,
browser ponies is a fork of desktop ponies, implementing it in JavaScript.
Browser ponies: https://github.com/panzi/Browser-Ponies
Desktop ponies: http://desktop-pony-team.deviantart.com/
There is also a collection of ponies that are not yet pixelated in a Java reimplementation:

New ponies can be created from regular images by using img2xterm
https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm
or util-say
https://github.com/maandree/util-say
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=60241
Using util-say:
img2ponysay -c 1 -2 -- SOURCE_IMAGE > PONY_FILE
PONY_FILE should end with .pony and be localed in ponies/
Omit -2 if the source image does not use double pixel size.
(`-c 1` is no longer required.)
For more information see https://github.com/maandree/util-say/wiki/img2ponysay
When a pony is added please also add a ttypony version, but if you don't please
state so in the pull request so we do not miss the create it; the simplest way to
do this is to run `make ttyponies` after adding the ponies to ponies/,
Running `make ttyponies` will build (or rebuild) all ttyponies with a pony present
in ponies/, and creates all needed symlinks.
To be able to run `make ttyponies` you must have the packages listed under
[Dependencies for pony providers].
