Dragon Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hello, all. I've just been tinkering with a small Flash game that allowed you to randomly generate a 32 x 32 grid of coloured pixels. You can choose the amount of colours it uses, from anywhere between 1 and 10, or you can choose "all colours" and it will choose from any colour with a hex triplet. It may take a few seconds to generate the grid, and choosing between 7 and 10 colours may slow down your computer. I'd recommend 4 or 5 colours, but "all colours" also looks nice and shouldn't take too long. Once you have your grid, click anywhere to go back to the menu. Here are a few screenshots of what it can do: Have fun! I'm considering uploading this to Newgrounds, but I'm not so sure. I've had bad experiences with it before. random pixels.swf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 do you have any way of implementing rules about what goes next to what? (ie 'if a pixel is blue, it's neighbours can be of colours x,y, or z. if a pixel is green... etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 No, I don't think that would be necessary. It's completely random, based on hundreds of uses of Math.Random(). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 whilst not necessary, you'd be halfway to creating an interesting cellular automata there as opposed to a big pile of boring random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 you might also want to rethink your randomness AI, it is a bit slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JW Modestburns Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm confused, where do the burns go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rabid Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Not to downplay this highly impressive achievement but I could program this in about 30 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yeah, but I did it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rabid Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 or did you...? Are you new to flash? Your next project shoudl be to make an interactive .swf avatar. I've seen several members do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yeah, but I did it first. actually, some dude programmed this first in 'how to create a 2-dimensional array the size of the screen, and fill it <character-sized blocks of> OR <with> random numbers, probably using BASIC and nested FOR-NEXT loops', from the manual of whatever computer it was way back when we first moved from mono to more than two colours.
