Custom Ruby Library3
3A custom ruby library
The custom ruby library library/palette/palete.rb
class Palette
include Processing::Proxy # needed to access 'color' and 'map1d'
attr_reader :palette
def initialize
@palette = make_palette
end
def make_palette
(0..256).map do |i|
# Create the bands of colour for the palette (256 is the maximum colour))
case i
when 0..64 # Range of reds
color(*[map1d(i, 0..64, 1..255), 0, 0])
when 64..128 # Range of orange
color(*[255, map1d(i, 64..128, 1..255), 0])
when 128..172 # range of yellow
color(*[255, 255, map1d(i, 128..172, 1..255)])
else
color(*[180, 0, 0])
end
end

A sketch using the custom palette library:-
# After original by Alex Young https://github.com/alexyoung/fire-p5r
# Algorithm:
# 1. Create an indexed palette of red, orange and yellows
# 2. Loop:
# 3. Draw a random set of colours from the palette at the bottom of the screen
# 4. Loop through each pixel and average the colour index value around it
# 5. Reduce the average by a fire intensity factor
# k9 --run fire.rb
load_library :palette
def settings
size 320, 240
end
def setup

@palette = Palette.create_palette
@fire = []
@scale = 8
@width = width / @scale
@height = height / @scale
@intensity = 2
end
def draw

end
def update_fire
random_line @height - 1
(0..@height - 2).each do |y|
(0..@width).each do |x|
# Wrap
left = x.zero? ? fire_data(@width - 1, y) : fire_data(x - 1, y)
right = (x == @width - 1) ? fire_data(0, y) : fire_data(x + 1, y)
below = fire_data(x, y + 1)
# Get the average pixel value
average = (left.to_i + right.to_i + (below.to_i * 2)) / 4
# Fade the flames
average -= @intensity if average > @intensity
set_fire_data x, y, average
fill @palette[average]
stroke @palette[average]
rect x * @scale, (y + 1) * @scale, @scale, @scale
end
end
end
def fire_data(x, y)
@fire[offset(x, y)]
end
def set_fire_data(x, y, value)
@fire[offset(x, y)] = value.to_i
end
def random_offset
rand(0..@palette.size)
end
def random_line(y)
(0...@width).each do |x|
@fire[offset(x, y)] = random_offset
end
end
def offset(x, y)
(y * @width) + x
end
See also this example, makes most sense when you might re-use your library for several sketches.
