#pattern generation

Sometimes it just works, and sometimes it doesn't!

Continuing my dive down the rabbit hole of computer assisted pattern generation, I have spent most of the afternoon trying to get my program to add in a mask when it has generated a random pattern.

I am not a programmer by training and null pointer exceptions confuse the hell out of me, ordinarily the debug program tells you more or less the line where the error is, and often what you need to do. However in my case the precision of the error reporting was much less and although I have managed to get it to do what I wanted I have no idea what I have, by brute force, repaired.

I have not tried projecting the generated images yet but the mask was made in the projection mapping software and the image saved to use in the pattern generator software.

So there we have tomorrow's head banging schedule already set up.

Pattern Skills

Better names for precisely talking about several things lumped under "pattern recognition":

Pattern Identification: given something, identifying the patterns in it, if any. The umbrella term.

Pattern Matching: taking a pattern, and checking if something matches that pattern.

Pattern Recognition: recognition memory, specific to patterns.

Pattern Recall: recall memory, specific to patterns.

Pattern Generation: coming up with new possible patterns.

Pattern Creativity: how easily pattern generation comes to you; how many patterns you can generate, how quickly; how varied or novel your pattern generation is.

So for one of my classes we had to do 30 costume sketches based off of buildings and incorporate geometric shapes into them (which was hella hard wow) but I did all of mine based off of buildings in Disney World/Land and my professor loved them all. Like literally she kept tellng me how gorgeous she thought they were and how I should keep all of them for later assignments because they were so nice and she thought that my love of Disney was adorable and she asked me why I liked it so much and she just loved that I loved Disney and I think that was really nice. That's all. Sometimes good things just happen and I need to document them.
