More work...

Unfortunately, I've been a bit busy over the past few weeks and haven't had the opportunity to work much on the project. However, I plan to put aside this weekend for working on Mass Writing and hope to have an updated script by Sunday.

I also hope to have a good program completed properly as the requirement is for us to have a stand alone program separate from the one developed in the main text. I was thinking of a morphing program (one that takes two images and allows one to be transformed into the other through a seamless transition) although I fear that this may be too ambitious!

I need to experiment and develop a system for cross-fading, possibly using Processing's bitwise operations as described in Chapter 10 of Greenberg. The other requirement for a morphing program is warping, i.e. stretching areas of the first image to meet logically similar areas of the second image - synchronised with the cross-fading effect to give a smooth transition.

A fun weekend lies ahead...!
