The only thing i can't get over, if the real way to do it is to randomly generate items in a pool, run through each item, compare them, and generate a new pool, then how do I make a site professional (good looking) enough, yet stay ever growing with customers. Justin --------- The idea is great and is worthy of some attention. However, the color creation mechanism is a difficult task. There are too many different color preferences that the averaging of votes is going to dilute the votes. There is a democratic type of voting as an option, where the top voted item goes through. However, dynamic creation lacks with this option. I believe a mechanism that can control Hue, Saturation, and Brightness would be most effective. But, that type of project seems to maximize effort/time put in to the project. -Craig _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
