Final Project Update 08

Implementation is going alright, though I haven't had much time to work.

I've played with Android a bit more, but I just need to give it up. It seems that touch is not going to be a part of the project I present, though I'll leave the functionality in there for my friends or in case I find a different way to conceptualize it. Or for when I get bored.

The boxes resize to the grid properly, but I'm having trouble unifying the timers. I think I just need to step away for a bit and let my current work sit.

edit:

Whoops! Important stuff I almost forgot.
I found a MUCH easier way to deal with color spaces than what I've been doing.

LAB/HCL color in R

Using the colorspace library in R, I am able to interactively generate color palettes and output them as lists of  normalized sRGB values (perfect to convert with color()). I can define substeps for smoothing, coerce the colors to RGB, and have full control over ranges of luminance rather than just a single value.
It's probably not a good idea for me to use only one luminance anyway.

Full disclosure, I've never used R before, but it only took an hour for me to get up to speed with enough basics to write my small script and utilize the libraries. Sadly though...

Disappointed

As excited as I got, I'm actually quite disappointed in the color results I got from the HCL space. They are still feel either too saturated or too desaturated and muddy when seen in the context of the grid. I think I'll be returning to my previous HSV solution. Oh well...
