text to bit code
Apr 20th, 2010, 3:46am  
Hello,
i recently went through a Java program that converted text files [strings] into bit code.
I'm a noob and looking for tips to understand where to start in processing for building a sketch that takes strings from an external text and converts it (visualize it) in bitcode.
Any help is welcome!

Can you explain what is bitcode please?

You mention visualizing. Do you mean you want to convert chars to 0s and 1s and, for example, display nothing for zero and ellipses for one (or two different colors, other shapes, etc.)?

If so, you can convert a String to a byte array (getBytes()), and these bytes are just a bunch of bits, which you can analyze with boolean operations (&, >>>).
