Programming Contest: BoxifyMe, Skybuck's Entry 2 Animation 1

Not so much inspiritation more need... for box2d physics... triangulization algorithms where looking shitty so I thought I'd give this rectangular idea an approach/try.

Plus edge finding technique I was looking into. And this rectangluzing problem felt like a combinatorial problem... and it is... hard to solve... many solutions possible... perhaps no optimal algorithm yet... so it's a good candidate for contest to see what people can come up with.

Very cool! Is this the actual run-time of the program? What is the programs priority?

@AmusedChicken Hi there,

No, the video has been slowed down to 5 frames per second, so it's possible to see what the algorithm does. Otherwise it would go to fast. It's over in 1 second.

The program's priority is to cover all the red pixels with the minimum amount of rectangles.

Meanwhile the algorithms have been improved and run a bit differently now...

@skybuck2000 Thanks, I suppose that it is ideal to slow it down then :P

Also, by priority, I didn't mean it's objective (I read two thirds of your webpage already), what I meant was what s its priority on your computer (low, medium, high, real-time).

@AmusedChicken Kinda weird question you ask me :)

It's just an application which runs "normally".

@skybuck2000 I see. what gave you the inspiration to hold this contest?
