19 downloads19%20downloads1928 comments28%20comments2892 glyphs92%20glyphs92A favorite of 12 usersA%20favorite%20of%2012%20users12Clone of fs Arc Test 1:1, which was started on Fri, 27th August, 11:59 AM 2010.

As simple as this fs may appear to be, it was much more complex to pull off. The curves and angles just did not match. The original version was at filter 1:1. Today--after a long time--I had enough free time to play around. Cloned and upped the filter to 2:2 (well, 1.75:1.75 to be exact). The 0.25 offset was initially put into place for the creative process, just so I know which brick was where. The breaks became a design element somewhere along the way. That caused additional brick placement problems. A full 2:2 filter would have made things much easier. Regardless, I am reasonably satisfied with the outcome. Needless to say, each glyph went through a whole bunch of iterations before settling on what's currently visible. Not all turned out good. The 'V', for instance. Who knows, better solutions may exist.

Take a square, split it horizontally, vertically and diagonally. This gives just 16 line segments to work with. I have a book where the author lists every possible combination of those 16 line segments. That gives a staggering 65535 total possibilities. And that's just straight lines. I mention this because the uppercase grid here is 6×8=48 bricks (counting one 2:2 brick as 4 1:1 bricks). Then there is the possibility of using a whole slew of 4×4 brick shape. I am not even going to attempt to figure out how many total possible combinations that makes but I am sure it is a number much larger than 65535.

The point is, with so many possible brick combinations, better solutions most probably exist. I just may be too narrow-minded to visualize them.Clone%20of%20fs%20Arc%20Test%201%3A1%2C%20which%20was%20started%20on%20Fri%2C%2027th%20August%2C%2011%3A59%20AM%202010.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AAs%20simple%20as%20this%20fs%20may%20appear%20to%20be%2C%20it%20was%20much%20more%20complex%20to%20pull%20off.%20The%20curves%20and%20angles%20just%20did%20not%20match.%20The%20original%20version%20was%20at%20filter%201%3A1.%20Today--after%20a%20long%20time--I%20had%20enough%20free%20time%20to%20play%20around.%20Cloned%20and%20upped%20the%20filter%20to%202%3A2%20%28well%2C%201.75%3A1.75%20to%20be%20exact%29.%20The%200.25%20offset%20was%20initially%20put%20into%20place%20for%20the%20creative%20process%2C%20just%20so%20I%20know%20which%20brick%20was%20where.%20The%20breaks%20became%20a%20design%20element%20somewhere%20along%20the%20way.%20That%20caused%20additional%20brick%20placement%20problems.%20A%20full%202%3A2%20filter%20would%20have%20made%20things%20much%20easier.%20Regardless%2C%20I%20am%20reasonably%20satisfied%20with%20the%20outcome.%20Needless%20to%20say%2C%20each%20glyph%20went%20through%20a%20whole%20bunch%20of%20iterations%20before%20settling%20on%20what%27s%20currently%20visible.%20Not%20all%20turned%20out%20good.%20The%20%27V%27%2C%20for%20instance.%20Who%20knows%2C%20better%20solutions%20may%20exist.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0ATake%20a%20square%2C%20split%20it%20horizontally%2C%20vertically%20and%20diagonally.%20This%20gives%20just%2016%20line%20segments%20to%20work%20with.%20I%20have%20a%20book%20where%20the%20author%20lists%20every%20possible%20combination%20of%20those%2016%20line%20segments.%20That%20gives%20a%20staggering%2065535%20total%20possibilities.%20And%20that%27s%20just%20straight%20lines.%20I%20mention%20this%20because%20the%20uppercase%20grid%20here%20is%206%C3%978%3D48%20bricks%20%28counting%20one%202%3A2%20brick%20as%204%201%3A1%20bricks%29.%20Then%20there%20is%20the%20possibility%20of%20using%20a%20whole%20slew%20of%204%C3%974%20brick%20shape.%20I%20am%20not%20even%20going%20to%20attempt%20to%20figure%20out%20how%20many%20total%20possible%20combinations%20that%20makes%20but%20I%20am%20sure%20it%20is%20a%20number%20much%20larger%20than%2065535.%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20point%20is%2C%20with%20so%20many%20possible%20brick%20combinations%2C%20better%20solutions%20most%20probably%20exist.%20I%20just%20may%20be%20too%20narrow-minded%20to%20visualize%20them.

2 downloads2%20downloads237 glyphs37%20glyphs37Nega12 is a "cryptoscript" I invented in early teens. Every character consists of twelve segments arranged in a the pattern of the Chinese character 田. To understand what a character means you have to invert the reverse the switched on and off segments (thus エ becomes H, 日 becomes I etc., ). To make it more readable dots are added in the corners of every character grid. Nega12 (i.e. "negative 12-segment script") was inspired by my watch which suddenly started to show time in "negative".Nega12%20is%20a%20%22cryptoscript%22%20I%20invented%20in%20early%20teens.%20Every%20character%20consists%20of%20twelve%20segments%20arranged%20in%20a%20the%20pattern%20of%20the%20Chinese%20character%20%E7%94%B0.%20To%20understand%20what%20a%20character%20means%20you%20have%20to%20invert%20the%20reverse%20the%20switched%20on%20and%20off%20segments%20%28thus%20%E3%82%A8%20becomes%20H%2C%20%E6%97%A5%20becomes%20I%20etc.%2C%20%29.%20To%20make%20it%20more%20readable%20dots%20are%20added%20in%20the%20corners%20of%20every%20character%20grid.%20Nega12%20%28i.e.%20%22negative%2012-segment%20script%22%29%20was%20inspired%20by%20my%20watch%20which%20suddenly%20started%20to%20show%20time%20in%20%22negative%22.
