HollyKing's Journal

Years ago when I was first learning C, Windows and programming I wrote a lot of little toy programs. They didn’t do anything earth shattering but I enjoyed them. I’ve posted about one of them, The Demons of Cyclic Space, before. Not long ago I found a backup disk with the source for some of the toys. So I’ve started to rewrite them using C# and the .NET Framework.

The first one I’ve finished is called “Hot Iron Viewer.” (Don’t ask my why, you can view more than just the “Hot Iron” color map.) It creates a 512x512 image of various color maps. The interesting one is the “Rainbow” map as it simulates the colors of the rainbow. You can see a screen shot below the cut. Later today I’ll post the source and an executable for anyone that wants to play around with it.

The next step is to add the ability to change some of the parameters used to generate the various color maps. Then off to the next toy. ;)

Update: I've posted the source on my Google Code page. You can download a zip file of the source code, check out the source from Subversion or just browse it on the web. Enjoy.
