Chance-based Systems Project Update 03

Since Wednesday's critique I've been able to move a bit further. Currently, I'm tweaking the values for the tracked blogs and building the data structures I'll need to track and display them properly. It's taking me a little time to remember my Java, but it's not too bad so far.

The major steps today were identifying all the debugging information I'd need and getting them reliably and correctly output onto a debugging screen. The red and light green boxes you see above are blobs that have been selected by my random/fitness check, and will be used for mapping onto the parameters of my chips.

Lastly, It took a bit to grok how to make a stopwatch/timer based on the frameRate, and adjusting to the little tricks Processing pulls behind the scenes was... fun. Now that I have it though, accomplishing animations and timeouts will be much easier.

Now I just need to start making designs!
