I'm thinking on the one thing in Java that I don't know how to do, but wish I did.
And that is how to turn a two dimensional array of colors into an image. Because, logically, an image is little more than a two dimensional array of colors, probably with a fourth integer describing transparency.
And, on top of that, I could probably made a video out of a three dimensional array of colors, by defining the third dimension as time.
And I think I just thought of a way to properly do three dimensional imaging....
Anyway. I was thinking on how that's the one thing I really wish I knew how ta do.
And in thinking of how to do that, I began thinking of things I would use it for. 'Cause while I'd love to use it to make a display for something useful, that only happens when I think of useful things.
But then I thought, wait.
An image is nothing more than an unsorted two dimensional array of colors, and a color itself is little more than a collection of three integers. If I knew how how insert an image into an array and then print it out again, I could sort images or even entire videos by hue. And in the case of images, I could probably put each and every single frame into a three dimensional array, so that I could watch it backwards and see an image evolve from a
color chart looking thing.
Which would be useless, but interesting to mwa.
