Been formatting this into a full Deno project from an isolated zx idea. Never done anything config-related before, so making something to read/write the config was pretty cool.

A lot of writing the analysis code was processing the bash output into something manipulate-able with TypeScript. That was annoying as shit—splitting, filtering, mapping… I never want to process text again in my entire life.

Something really unexpected had to be the floating point errors I found in the loop. I was thinking there had to be a better way to populate the better array in the first place, but there didn’t seem to be, so there I was doing let i = 0, i < 1, i += 0.1 and fighting for my life against 0.60000001. I eventually got so tired of it I just made it a percentage out of 100% instead. Surely this won’t bite me in the back later :)

We’ve got cloud cover, shortwave radiation, and sun altitude with the help of Open-Meteo and suncalc. They’re going to map to parameters chroma, lightness, and hue respectively! This’ll be fun….
