RGBSB, What should a new name be?
« on: February 25, 2012, »
There has been some discussion of a new name for RGBSB. I am busy coding, but have enjoyed the creativity people have shown. I feel it is in the best tradition of the DIY community to have people share their ideas,

Here has been the suggestions so far gleaned from the various forumns i post to:


Meighan Tree Pixelizor (MTPXR)            Doityourselfchristmas

PMAGIC
Pixel                     Doityourselfchristmas
Mathematical
Algorithm
Generated
Intelligent
Convertor

ColorWHeel                  Doityourselfchristmas

A unique name like Pixelizor (PZR),          Doityourselfchristmas
Meighan's Machine (M&M),
 or Sean's Incredible Machine of
 Baffling Arrangements (SIMBA) may be catchy.

i kind of like the name RGB sequence builder.       Doityourselfchristmas
only other idea i had was RGB EffectsBuilder
would be nice to include your name somehow though.

Great work Sean. I like RGBsb.             Doityourselfchristmas
Aside from spelling out Sequence Builder,
what else would fit?

PixelArt                  LOR

pixelnut        nutty pixel            LOR

RGBSB is fine, the name is not as          LOR
important as the function

PIXIS                     LOR

PIXTURE                     LOR

Pixelbrate                  LOR

Pixilla                     LOR

Pixelmania                  LOR

Pixels R Us                  LOR

Pixel Soldier                  LOR

TripleS (Smart String Sequencer)         DLA Vixen forum

Nutcracker  since it would have some meaning      DLA Vixen forum
 to your family...

RGBCracker                  DLA Vixen forum

RGB Canvas                  DLA Vixen forum

"4S" for SeanSmartStringSequencer         DLA Vixen forum

How about Frost it covers everything         DLA Vixen forum

SmartPix                  DLA Vixen forum
Pixelator

Matrix animator                  DLA Vixen Forum

Once you get it to display videos, we can call it  TreeTV.
Amazing job.

Since it is oriented to mega trees I think it needs mega or tree somewhere in the name.  Maybe MT..... whatever is best liked such as MTPixelgen.  I know I'm late to the game, but this is a mega tree tool.

I would only make a minor correction. The tools is not just for mega trees.
My original title for this thread was "rgbsb a sequence builder for rgb mega trees, matrices. And any arbitrary rgb device"

I do plan on making effects for hearts, stars, arches, snowmen, cars covered in pixels.

I would agree that I expect that 90% of the rgb devices are going to be trees, but my architecture will not be locked into one topology.

As I have said before, I will focus on the tool.

I have challenged myself to come up with some WOW effects using as few rgb strings as possible. It's is easy to wow when you have 64 devices. I wish I had that kind of money.

I also plan on reconfiguring my strings for 4 th of July and Halloween.

I enjoy that the users are participating in the design of the tool. That is one goal of an open source tool.

Thanks

I have decided on a new name.

Someone in these threads made the comment that why not Nutcracker since it has special meaning to me. The nutcrackers that i built with my sons do have special meaning and since we have Vixen and Grinch, I have decided that the new name of my tool will be Nutcracker: RGB Effects Builder.

I have already created new favicons and released them onto the web page.

thanks everyone for the input.

Now, I need a catchy name for the class that I will give on the Nutcracker software at the Academy.
