Bits and Can-do Dad
A first prototype for the “4K Executable Graphics” competitions. The executable is 1616 bytes using UPX (2178 bytes uncompressed) including VESA RGB/BGR 24/32bit detection, automatic resolution selection and VGA fallback. (64bit windows users will need to use dosbox to run the executable) It’s a lot of fun to optimize for size rather than speed, making…
Some more experimenting with a cheap low quality webcam for extra challenge (Moar with less!). This time its a barcode scanner with no controlled light source. I wanted to scan barcodes with just the ambient lighting so I had to design an image filter that would amplify the picture’s contrast and reconstruct the dark and…
While working on my 3D editor back in 2010, I wrote a custom routine to automatically create a spherical mesh out of any set of arbitrary points in 3D space and got tired of testing it with semi-random points in space. So, a quick trip to the local Canadian Tire (a weird of mix of…
