A 20 lines program that will make a call to Boardgame Geek API, parse the output and print out all the urls pictures of boardgames in a users boardgame collections. This is used together with the cwget project and the imagemosaic program to make a mosaic wallpaper of images from a users boardgames.

The biggest takeaway from this project was how little code you need to do this. If you know the right crates/libraries to use, you can get a lot done by just stiching them together with a few lines of code.
