Destructive thinking.

Looks like i wrote a good enough bot for http://wordsquared.com/

Version 0.1b at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NilCjtRIvng
It was more laggy, than current :)

As below log shows, its completing words with 2-4w per 1s, but this affected only by my current internet connection.
Later i’ll move it to dedicated server in hetzner.de to test European’s speed.

P.S. from 3k point to 10k in 10 mins :) P.S.S. Still using http://wordsolver.net/ word’s database -.-

To force cleaning of unused blocks, boot in Single-User Mode:

Chameleon's flag: -s
Original mac: Hold ⌘+s

When you see command prompt, write this:

fsck -fy && mount -uw / && exit

After process finished, your Mac will be booted with TRIMed blocks ;)

Found that newest Chameleon(that support FaceTime fix) lowers performance of GTX 470GT 1280 (i think all nvidia’s) to about 20% of total.
For example, My normal Minecraft’s FPS around 300, with newest Chameleon i got about 34.

Fix

Just add to Boot Flags in org.chameleon.Boot.plist: SkipFTFix=Yes

Don’t really know, what i wrote… but this thing can react on audio beats ))) and you can specify channels to visualize(circle).

Controls:

“a”, “s” — sets minimum & maximum samples to display as circle
“d” — output current min & max
“x” — exit xD

And don’t forget to put sound.mp3 near .rb file

You need ruby-processing gem. Tested at 1.9.2

require "pp"

class Visualizer < Processing::App
  load_library "minim"
  import "ddf.minim"
  import "ddf.minim.analysis"

  def setup
    smooth
    color_mode(RGB, 255)
    size(1280, 600)
    background(0)

    @min = 0
    @max = 2

    setup_sound
  end

  def setup_sound
    @minim = Minim.new(self)
    @input = @minim.get_line_in
    @input = @minim.loadFile("sound.mp3", 1024)
    @input.play

    @fft = FFT.new(@input.bufferSize, @input.sampleRate)
  end

  def draw
    background(0)

    avg = 0

    @fft.forward(@input.left)
    @fft.specSize.times { |i|
      stroke(255)

      case i
      when @min..@max
        stroke(255, 0, 0)
        # remove if statement for pure detection
        avg += @fft.getBand(i) if @fft.getBand(i) > 100
      end

      line(i, 600, i, @fft.getBand(i));
    }

    avg = (avg / (@max - @min)) * 10

    noStroke
    fill(255, 255, 0)
    ellipse(800, 300, avg, avg)
  end

  def keyPressed
    case key
    when "a"
      @min = mouseX if mouseX < @max && mouseX >= 0
    when "s"
      @max = mouseX if mouseX > @min && mouseX <= @fft.specSize
    when "d"
      puts "#{@min} #{@max}"
    when "x"
      exit
    end
  end

  def stop
    @input.pause
    @minim.stop
    super
  end
end
