Favo(u)rite Colo(u)r

[Scott7]

I put blue, gray, and red.

I didn't put in black since... well who doesn't favor black?

and aparently this is what came out with Magic quiz....

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Law i don't really care to much about, but other then that (and white not being my favorite) its basicly me in a nutshell.

[Kursed]

Blue ,white , purple.

[Dermot]

Blue ,white , purple.

I wonder if you've ever played the first F-Zero game, and liked White Land.  That's what I think of when I think of blue-white-purple, for some reason. :lol:

These are my three favorite colors.

I rendered this myself a few years ago, using software I coded from scratch.  Decorative mazes can be fun...

Thats a maze? where does it start and where does it finish  :P

Wow, that's awesome! What programming language(s) can you program in?

That is AWEcool!

[Geo Stelar]

^ I second this ^^

Language skill in C, Java, JavaScript and Perl.  But my experience with abstract programming interfaces (APIs) varies.  For instance, I've never really done database programming or SQL.  I also never bothered to learn PHP, which probably works against me because PHP is everywhere these days (including this forum).  I'm also very knowledgeable of Game Boy Classic/Color's special flavor of Z80 assembly, from when I co-programmed a Game Boy Color emulator - that's not really a valuable skill anymore, but it was good fun.

Thats a maze? where does it start and where does it finish 

It's a decorative maze, so it has no starting or finishing point.  However, it is a true one-path maze, so that you can reach any one point from any other point through only one path.  So...you can choose whatever starting or finishing points you please.

I render the maze as a wrap-around-tiled grid.  First, the grid starts as completely empty, and then I connect two random adjacent squares.  Then I choose a random filled square (starting with only the first two), and start a random "snake" path through neighboring empty space, and keep drawing this path in random directions until it strands itself and can't grow anymore.  Then I start a new random snake path in another location, and keep doing this until there are no empty squares left.  This "snaky" maze tends to be most pleasing to the eyes because of its great twists and turns.  A simpler algorithm produces "stubby" mazes which have lots of little dead ends all next to each other, and isn't all that attractive to look at.  But both the "snaky" and "stubby" algorithms have the advantage of being truly one-path, in that every part of the maze can be reached from any other part of the maze by only one specific path.

Anyway, after I generate the maze pattern, I duplicate it to three across and three down, and I have code that traces all nine identical mazes, tagging them with a color ID#.

Then I start rendering the image, using pre-rendered pipe graphics (which I also rendered using code I wrote).  The pipe graphics are black & white, but I colorize them with different color gradients, depending on the color ID.

This is but a rather simplistic way of describing it, but that's basically how I made this.  It makes good wallpaper, don't you think?

Blue

Black

and

White

are mine

By the way, I remembered that I created a homebrewn Game Boy Advance ROM that generates random mazes.

Its rare to come across someone that doesn't like blue...

We had to type a power point for this subject in psycology in my "graphic and visual arts" class a few weeks ago
