 If the image is an animated GIF, the rate should be adjusted accordingly. By default, the application will send one ping per pixel per frame. If the rate is set to some value higher than the average frame delay, each pixel in the frame may be sent more than once, improving the fidelity of the animation.

+# Building
+
+You'll need Go (preferably 1.11 for module support). Clone the repository somewhere outside your `$GOPATH`, and run `go build`.
+
+```
+$ cd /tmp
+$ git clone https://github.com/ajmadsen/jingleping-go
+$ cd jingleping-go
+$ go build
+$ ./jingleping-go ...
+```
+
+Alternatively, run `go get -u github.com/ajmadsen/jingleping-go` to install to your `$GOPATH`, and find the installed binary at `$GOPATH/bin/jingleping-go`.
