Chaos Theory is a good corollary to the philosophy of the Blitting SDK. By defining the behavior of systems, we can obtain an expected result with some threshold unique to each instance.

To model this, a case study of Sierpinski’s Triangle is used:

With bitmap data, pixels may be directly manipulated.

In this implementation, setPixel32 is executed against the viewport’s BitmapData to colorize a pixel.

Code for this implementation (found within the blitting-apps project):

In the following three examples, 50, 500, and 5000 colors are generated with each distribution of color graphed in a separate visualization.

RandomColor generates random color values, Color gets RGB values, and a Timer provides animation to visualize examples over time.

Blitting features a convenient ColorPalette class which contains an integer (hex) enumeration of default X11 RGB X colors.

Each color name is defined as a String with a list of all possible colors available via the Colors static member:

1
2
3

import com.jasonsturges.labs.blitting.color.ColorPalette;
 
var colors:Array = ColorPalette.Colors;

To iterate the collection and access the integer (hex) value of the RGB color, you could implement:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

for each(var colorName:String in ColorPalette.Colors)
	var color:uint = ColorPalette[colorName];
 
// ...or
 
for(var i:uint = 0; i < ColorPalette.Colors.length; i++)
	var color:uint = ColorPalette[ColorPalette.Colors[i]]

Let’s apply this and take it further with a color study visualization of RGB values.

Blitting offers some color utility functionality in a Color class. For any integer (hex) value, we may obtain red, green, and blue for 24-bit colors, and alpha for 32-bit colors.

import com.jasonsturges.labs.blitting.color.Color;
import com.jasonsturges.labs.blitting.color.ColorPalette;
 
var color:uint = ColorPalette.navajoWhite; // 0xffdead
 
var red:uint = Color.getRed(color);
var green:uint = Color.getGreen(color);
var blue:uint = Color.getBlue(color);

Parsing 24-bit colors for RGB values, or 32-bit colors for ARGB is done with bitwise operators.

By taking RGB values, we can assemble a visualization of how the X11 colors enumerated in the ColorPalette class correlate.

Origin (x,y = 0; upper left corner) is equivalent to 0×000000 (#000000).

Along the x axis, as red values increase the color markers move right so that colors with the most red (0xff) end up on the right side of the chart.

Along the y axis, as blue values increase the color markers move towards the bottom so that colors with the most blue (0xff) end up on the bottom of the chart.

Magnitude of green is represented in the size of the color markers so that colors with the most green (0xff) end up the largest in diameter.

Compare that with x=red, y=green, diameter=blue

Or, x=green, y=blue, diameter=red

Let’s try an example – FunctionTimer, a class that inherits RandomTimer (therefore inheriting flash.utils.Timer) which maintains a collection of function pointers. At random intervals, all functions within the Vector of Functions is executed.

Example class: FunctionTimer

Inheriting from flash.utils.Timer, RandomTimer dispatches TimerEvent.TIMER and TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE at random delays.

Let’s start with an example implementation of Blitting’s RandomText:

1
2
3

import com.jasonsturges.labs.blitting.text.RandomText;
 
var char:String = RandomText.character();

Above, a random character is generated and returned as a String.

Four character sets are native:

  • Upper Case Alphabet
  • Lower Case Alphabet
  • Numbers
  • Symbols

These sets represent two things:

  1. Individual characters concatenated as a String.
  2. Bitwise definition for specifying sets.

Let’s take a look at both as per their application.

Random characters are generated by selecting a character within a String (eg: “abcdefg”…). Although generally these characters should be unique, duplicate characters increases odds that character will be randomly chosen.

Use RandomText.fromCharacters() to facilitate random character selection from a predetermined list.

1
2
3
4
5
6

// specify a list of possible characters
var alphabet:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var randChar:String = RandomText.fromCharacters(alphabet);
 
// increase odds of character
var randChar:String = RandomText.fromCharacters(RandomText.alphabetUpperCase + "!!!!!???");

You may specify a String of possible characters, or chose among the four predefined sets:

  • RandomText.alphabetLowerCase
  • RandomText.alphabetUpperCase
  • RandomText.numeric
  • RandomText.symbol

Use RandomText.fromCharset() to facilitate random character selection from Blitting’s sets of characters. Combine bitwise to include multiple sets.

1
2
3
4
5

// Upper and lower case letters
RandomText.fromCharset(RandomText.CHARS_ALPHABET_UPPER_CASE | RandomText.CHARS_ALPHABET_LOWER_CASE);
 
// Symbols and numbers
RandomText.fromCharset(RandomText.CHARS_SYMBOL | RandomText.CHARS_NUMERIC);

Chose among the four predefined sets:

  • RandomText.CHARS_ALPHABET_UPPER_CASE
  • RandomText.CHARS_ALPHABET_LOWER_CASE
  • RandomText.CHARS_NUMERIC
  • RandomText.CHARS_SYMBOL

Now, tie it all together in a functional example.

Create an application that displays a random character using a timer.

Distributed as an ActionScript 3.0 SWC, this library is focused in bit BLIT, rendering, layout, double and multiple buffering while maintaing performance oriented design.

Performance metrics will be available in a soon to be released Profiler package, and a goal of this blog will be case studies in ActionScript.

Currently extraordinarily alpha, expect progress in an organic manner.
