PolyPlaster

Creepiness distilled. ;)
guess who this is

Inspiration

There was something like this in C# I ran into a while back.

What it does

It reconstructs images using polygons

How I built it...

Genetic evolution algorithm, randomized selective evolution, gradient descent optimization, tried to use DeltaE color difference scheme, Javascript Canvas for the win (and the super bad performance)...

Challenges I ran into

Everything. Such as the fact that you have to press a button exactly seven times on android to enable dev mode for usb debugging. And the fact that tango's java api has such low-level drawing based on open-gl.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Submitting stuff. Also, getting to know other people.

What I learned

Getting stuff to work is really hard. Also 75% of hackathons are fixing bugs, configuration, and using Stack Overflow to look up what is causing errors.
