I am working on a very challenging project that I came up with myself, and am working on by myself. All though it may seem simple at first, my project is very hard. I am trying to make a two-dimensional mosaic made of Lego bricks. I am going to accomplish this goal by pixelating an image, then writing a computer program that tells me the sequence of legos I need to reproduce this image, as well as the total number of each color. The first step was to find an image. I found a black-and-white photo of the chrysler building that looked nice. Then, I used a image manipulation program called GIMP to pixilate the photo. After that, I needed to check the pixels witha programming language, so I started writing he code to figure out which legos I need. After I am done with the program, I will run it, then order the legos I need. Once they arrive, I will be able to build the mosaic and finish! This project is probably one of the longest-taking and hardest things I have attempted. Thanks for reading!

Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteI don't think at any point your project "seems simple." I congratulate you. Good luck writing the program. It is a challenge.
Max. This project is amazing. You conceived and pursued it on your own with little initial support or understanding. To see it unfold into a thing of beauty and genius is remarkable.
