RE: a computer science experiment on consciousness [Request]
NoG5 from reddit made this program i have been playing around with :)
posting it here in case anyone else wants to play around with it.
if you stare at the random noise it makes you see lots of things has you shift your eye focus.
NoG5 has given the code under public domain :)
the app just needs .net framework to run.
wikisend was not working at time of trying to upload so i am using fileconvoy.com for now.
the app can be found here

NoG5 also pointed out (quote)
normal random numbers on a computer are ultimately a mathematical formula, unlike something like random.org that use atmospheric noise to be truly random, it is possible to use random.org api to get some noise as the seed value for the randomness but not enough for a full image, the free quota is 200 000 bits a day and 8bits are needed for a gray pixel and 24bits for a color one,
and offered to add it, but i told him there was no need has the computer does not know when the stop button was going to be pressed and that would be be the random factor.
