Get Random Color in Unity
May 10th, 2013I was looking for a solution to get a random bight color in Unity.
I found a very useful article on Unity Forums, however, it didn’t work for me right the way.
This is the version I have edited in C#.
using UnityEngine;
/**
* A color in HSV space
*/
class ColorHSV : System.Object
{
public static string stringData;
private float h;
private float s;
private float v;
private float a;
/**
* Construct without alpha (which defaults to 1)
*/
public ColorHSV (float h ,float s ,float v){
this.h = h;
this.s = s;
this.v = v;
this.a = 1.0f;
}
/**
* Construct with alpha
*/
public ColorHSV (float h , float s, float v,float a){
this.h = h;
this.s = s;
this.v = v;
this.a = a;
}
/**
* Create from an RGBA color object
*/
public ColorHSV ( Color color ){
float min = Mathf.Min(Mathf.Min(color.r, color.g), color.b);
float max = Mathf.Max(Mathf.Max(color.r, color.g), color.b);
float delta = max - min;
// value is our max color
this.v = max;
// saturation is percent of max
if(!Mathf.Approximately(max, 0)){
this.s = delta / max;
}else{
// all colors are zero, no saturation and hue is undefined
this.s = 0;
this.h = -1;
return;
}
// grayscale image if min and max are the same
if(Mathf.Approximately(min, max)){
this.v = max;
this.s = 0;
this.h = -1;
return;
}
// hue depends which color is max (this creates a rainbow effect)
if( color.r == max ){
this.h = ( color.g - color.b ) / delta; // between yellow & magenta
}else if( color.g == max ){
this.h = 2 + ( color.b - color.r ) / delta; // between cyan & yellow
}else{
this.h = 4 + ( color.r - color.g ) / delta; // between magenta & cyan
}
// turn hue into 0-360 degrees
this.h *= 60;
if(this.h < 0 ){
this.h += 360;
}
}
/**
* Return an RGBA color object
*/
public Color ToColor (){
// no saturation, we can return the value across the board (grayscale)
if(this.s == 0 ){
return new Color(this.v, this.v, this.v, this.a);
}
// which chunk of the rainbow are we in?
float sector = this.h / 60;
// split across the decimal (ie 3.87f into 3 and 0.87f)
int i;
i = (int)Mathf.Floor(sector);
float f = sector - i;
float v = this.v;
float p = v * ( 1 - s );
float q = v * ( 1 - s * f );
float t = v * ( 1 - s * ( 1 - f ) );
// build our rgb color
Color color = new Color(0, 0, 0, this.a);
switch(i){
case 0:
color.r = v;
color.g = t;
color.b = p;
break;
case 1:
color.r = q;
color.g = v;
color.b = p;
break;
case 2:
color.r = p;
color.g = v;
color.b = t;
break;
case 3:
color.r = p;
color.g = q;
color.b = v;
break;
case 4:
color.r = t;
color.g = p;
color.b = v;
break;
default:
color.r = v;
color.g = p;
color.b = q;
break;
}
return color;
}
public static Color GetRandomColor(float h ,float s ,float v){
ColorHSV col = new ColorHSV(h,s,v);
return col.ToColor();
}
}
You can get a bright color by calling:
Color newColor = ColorHSV.GetRandomColor(Random.Range(0.0f, 360f), 1, 1);
If you also want grey or brownish color you can random all of the H, S, V values.
There is also a simple way to get random color by picking a random RGB color.
using UnityEngine;
public class GetRandomColor{
public static Color GetColor(){
return new Color(Random.Range(0.0f,1f),Random.Range(0.0f,1f), Random.Range(0.0f,1f));
}
}
To use it, just
GetRandomColor.GetColor();
Develop for Google Glass
May 7th, 2013
I was trying to start the Python Quick Start for Google Glass.
I kept getting error like “Error: redirect_uri_mismatch”.
The solution was to change the http://myappengineinstance.appspot.com/oauth2callback to https://myappengineinstance.appspot.com/oauth2callback in the API Console because it is secured.
Here is the link of Python Glass Development Quick Start:
https://developers.google.com/glass/quickstart/python
You can download the project at GitHub
