[Dprglist] A warped idea

[deltagraph at aol.com]

Doug,
First, I have a question. Anyone see Java as a stumbling block to writing a controller?

Yes-ish. Let me think on this. Maybe see what Will can come up with too. I will present myinitial warp function to him... 

As I see it. Maybe Carl will have some ideas without bogging him down.. 

Random#Gen --> some big number -- > some hash function -- >  parameters for warp -> warp the image

I really don't see animating a warp. It is too unpleasant to look at.Anyway, I was just having a bit of fun. 
Like Carl suggested, might be better to obsess over making a good controller.  

I will be able to work more on this Friday - including getting lap/start-end point detector running fornovice and advanced contests.


Ron

Ron,    So this would use the "seed" idea to get started? I also thought of another Idea, where the "seed" would place or flash a number (or text) on to the course in an unintrusive area of the display based on the seed value. The location could change as the run progressed. Regards,Doug P.

A random course reconfiguration might take effort.Warping an image map not quite so difficult
