I started looking through Processing's color utilities, which fortunately are much more user-friendly than the default Java ones. For now I'm just building up the system with the needed parameters so that tomorrow I can tweak the color ranges and palettes as finely as I choose.
A couple problems arising are that a lot of the blocks are being drawn over, so the data structures will need to be refactored to sortable ones. I would like to sort based on the visual "size" of the chips, and I think area will be enough. I could factor in the diagonals as well, but I don't think it will be necessary, and I'd rather not do more work if the aesthetic of the simpler solution works just as well.
Yesterday I checked out a projector and booked time in Studio A to get the feel of how the project might actually be set up as an installation, and tomorrow I'll hopefully be able to find a few people to help me test it in Studio A.
