Small script to create a partially occluded image series of an input image (named according to a game in a 1970th german game show)

The program creates a "background" image (see -b for your own one) and combines this with the given image in a way, that several output images are created, which show more and more parts of the original image, until the full image is visible. The program is called dalliklick, because there was a german TV series in the seventies (Dalli dalli), that called this game Dalli Klick. You will need an ImageMagick version greater than 6.4.3. Get it here, and define the paths to CONVERT_BIN and COMPOSITE_BIN.

• bash shell
• ImageMagick (Version > 6.4.3): convert and composite http://www.imagemagick.org/

Use -h to get help:

dalliklick.sh -h
