I think it’s colorful. I have some other things to try but I’m nearing finished on this thing, then back to coding. I’m exploring other minting options, so I don’t know where or when it might be an nft, but I’m hopeful 😂 ☠️

They're still not playing nice when not grouped though. The colorful ones need to be told who their parent organism is to take on the hue shift of the parent, and to be assigned the appropriate saturation level for what they are.

This is selection mapping with 5 organisms. Each element is separated into a group with a saturation shift. each organism gets a hue shift to visually separate elements. needs symbols or something, but the color is working correctly now.

changing the amount od possible data, chopping down color combinations from 1001 to something more manageable. 1001 vs 126

mapping multiple organisms with grouping deactivated. The plan is to introduce an osmosis like event that will trade color cells between organisms, for reasons. looks neat though. these are half colored in actual colors and half in default for identification purposes.

selection mapping progress. exploring ways a user might interact with each level of the organism structure, including color samples.

The editor for the organism game is still coming along nicely. It's hard to give an update because it does too much. I'll start using it to build out the game soon, I think Ive figured out some direction.

parasites have the ability to travel within colors stored in the parasite, with the option to swap colors to travel elsewhere (no backsies)

multi-organism selection and cell grouping. same selection, different ways to display the data

occasionally I still goof with AI. these were done in

Sometimes I come here and type long updates on what I'm working on and then just delete them when I'm finished or when I realize I'm just typing them to myself. Anyways, still working on that color organism game idea. .

This has changed a lot in 3 months.

The organism sim thing is shaping up to be a color mixing game.

each cell is an average of 10 pixel colors eaten. they consolidate every 1k and 25 are randomly chosen to become a larger cell, averaging their colors as the consolidated color. so each cell is 10 pixels, consolidated cells are 250pixels. fun stuff.

The organism editor/simulator is coming along. I think I’ve figured out how to turn it into a color collecting game, all theory of course, I still have to overhaul the structuring of organisms and work in a few new things. It’s been a neat project, just so many options. .

blobs. this is the same organism with a few tweaks to the placement. Im trying to think a game out of it, but i have to find the balance between entertaining/passive/boring.

light mode.

I think its done.

When life gives you lemons, but you can’t afford sugar.

Somehow I’m still working on this color picker, the fine tuning I’m hoping. I have a much deeper appreciation for the theory of color sorting, and the difficulties of getting color modes to play nice in terms of math. It’s just a silly picker, but I’ve learned a lot from it.

Moving my stuff back home today, power came back yesterday evening, ripped up carpets, threw away some wet furniture. nothing flooded, but constant rain caused water to seep between the walls and foundation. The carpet sucked it up.
