November 2023 (266 Words, 2 Minutes)

Binary Exploration Website Ideation

• Pull together many binary-related applications/features for the user to explore

Needs

• 5 binary-related features
• SASS theme(Merry Christmas)

Random Color Generator

• Validate RGB Values
• Convert RGB Decimal to Binary
• Have sample RGB value input (decimal)
• Display color in RGB format
• Displaying converted RGB values in binary

• Key Commits

js color generator

python binary colorgen

sample color input

Binary Sheep Counter

• Allow the user to count but in binary because its cooler
• As the user counts in binary, you convert the current values to RGB and change the color of the sheep
  • Relationship between RGB and the binary values
• Make a moving sheep to make it more interesting
• Maybe a multiplier to make the color changing happen faster

Steganography Encoder:

• convert string you want to hide into binary
• Read image, get info in each pixel
• convert each into binary
• Modify the least significant bit/ least significant bits (last 1 or last 2) bits to the corresponding bit in the binary string that we made
• save new binary as a new image, then return that image to the user (this image has the encrypted text inside of it)
• make a decrypter, read the least significant bits of each pixel, then add them all to a binary string, then convert that binary string back into a text message

Password combiner:

• 2 passwords → convert both to binary
• Use logic gates to combine the two passwords into one
• Convert back into letters and numbers and display new password
• Logic gates:
  • AND gate
  • OR gates
  • XOR gate
  • NOR gate
  • NAND gate

Ascii Art Generator:

• Object as input and generates ASCII art from the image.
• Processing each pixel in the image, converting RGB values to binary, and determining whether to use ‘*’ (foreground) or ‘ ‘ (background) based on specific criteria defined in the isForeground function
• Determines whether a pixel should be considered part of the foreground based on a binary value
• Converting each pixel’s RGB values to binary used as determination

Feedback

• 0.98/1.00 for Lakshanya and Hanlun

• Excellent Ideation and Code, space for minor improvements

• 0.97/1.00 for Matthew, Aditya, and Trevor
• Overall great, but could work a little bit more on organization of ideation

Both teams

• Great theme, liked the Christmas design
• Easy to read
• All the codes work great
• Clearly expressed ideas and plans
