Well, the problem presents itself in that there are many, many combinations. Lets say we take 24bit colout, Red 8, blue 8, green 8 combination. thats 512 possible colours per pixel. now lets say we have an avg resolution of 800 x 600. now that works out to 512^480000 combination. no small no. I am a competitional programmer in school and computers normally hit about 100,000,000 loops per second.. So generating all the permuations is kinda hard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Chia "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." - Thomas Edison E-mail: danielcjh@yahoo.com.sg MSN: danstryder01@yahoo.com.sg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 15:58 Subject: [OT] : Challenging...(another thought) > Wow! this must be good stuff i'm smoking! > Imagine this.... > there's a limited number of pixels in any monitor, yet it > can display any image, so, if you wrote a program to set > pixels at every possible colour intensity combination in > sequence, eventually you'll get real images!! it could be > anything, things that already happened and things that will > happen!!and ofcourse a lot of made up things, like a photo > of me and john lennon drinking coffe together, it'll be > there. what's even more scary, what happens when this > sequence eventually runs out? it means any possible and even > impossible event that could or could not happend, has > already been in the sequence... > it means nothing else can happen, you'd think that was > infinate, BUT the number of pixels is limited, and so are > all possible combinations of this... > wierd hey. > > -- > http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: > [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
