I created this to get some data for a fun project I'm working on. The reason the left and right sides have a bit more yellow than top and bottom is because of the aspect ratio; the boundary is longer on the X axis than the Y axis.

This was done in Python using Pygame. It wasn't actually a lot of code; only 55 lines total (without empty lines).

I didn't include the numerical data for simplicity and presentation sake.

Edit: You can also just about see a faint outline (like a diagonal chequerboard pattern) of crossing lines... pretty interesting, honestly.

i thought this was blurred due to it being nsfw 🤦

How often did the logo hit the exact corners?

The only question I have: How many perfect corner hits?

Pam claims she saw it once when she was alone in the conference room.

I believe she thinks she saw it...

Who’s afraid of Red and Yellow

Looks like a cheap Rothko.

Can you make the scale logarithmic? Then it would be easier to see the higher density areas.

Whatever that dvd logo is doing I don’t want my children watching

How do you know that your implementation is equivalent to the algorithm in the dvd players firmware?

If not, this is really a heatmap of your program and not the true dvd player alg Heatmap

Asking the real question

Yea, I wouldn’t call this beautiful. The scale needs to be heavily adjusted. You can see slight paths of higher traffic in the center but it’s all lost because the scaling isn’t right.

Maybe OP should try exponential heat map?

Some. Because it’s yellow

I’m an artist, okay? It must mean something.

Maybe it doesn’t. Maybe you’re just supposed to experience it. ˜Cause when you look at it, you do feel something, right? It’s like looking into something very deep. You could fall in.

thats suprisingly boring, sorry

This looks like one of those "you can't look at this image correctly" images. Like the ones that always look like they're moving?

Yeah, this one is weird. If I look straight at it, I can't see the dark red lattice pattern, but if I look away I can see it.

Hmm yes it seems the logo only ever seems to bounce when it reaches an edge. Yes very interesting

Could we be seeing a granularity thing?

The logo must always travel at a 45deg vector to the screen.

Otherwise I would expect the corner to be green.

I hope you had this playing the entire time you collected the data.

I saw it. I saw it and it was amazing. Who said I didn’t see it? Did BroseppeVerdi say that I didn’t see it? I saw it!

It's not really suprising that it's so even. The animation was originally designed to avoid burning any specific area of the screen, in case someone forgets the TV on for a long time.

I would call it a moderately priced Rothko for the diagonals that come up in it, and that it isn’t from his darker period before he died. :)

I can only see the grid if I don't look directly at it

I didn't click yet, but this better be Jazz Emu.

A fellow human of culture, I see.

Ok good :D

Im amazed that even after as many as 50k iterations, you still see periodic patterns in the interior. That has to be a rastering artifact, I’m guessing.

Provably always exactly 2 or 0, depending on the start position. You can dive into the math here: http://prgreen.github.io/blog/2013/09/30/the-bouncing-dvd-logo-explained/.
