How Do I Generate Random Identicons?

January 31, 2024 Post a Comment
I am looking for the most basic way to generate random identicons with no regards to information such as a user email or IP address etc.
Solution 1:

I wrote this the other day: http://jsfiddle.net/pHv6W/
It will generate a random hexadecimal hash and display an identicon and a monsterID from gravatar.com
// Load the MD5 scriptMD5 = makeMD5();

seed = randomString();

image = document.getElementById('image');
image2 = document.getElementById('image2');
hash = MD5.hex(seed);
image.src = 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/'+hash+'?d=identicon&s=150';
image2.src = 'http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/'+hash+'?d=monsterid&s=150';

functionrandomString(length) {
    var chars = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXTZabcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.split('');

    if (! length) {
        length = Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length);
    }

    var str = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        str += chars[Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length)];
    }
    return str;
}
