I think this might just be a brute-force-it thing?
Way I understand it, it’s basically “pick up to 8 of 16 dyes”, which is just under 40,000 possibilities.
How important is it to be able to speak Dutch in the Netherlands? Do you think someone can get by living in a city with just English?

Currently trying to get an international certification so I have a backup plan, even if it’s very logistically difficult and unlikely that i could even move to another country lol

i don’t actually know how that is in non-northern ireland actually

let me know what you find out. when I looked into it briefly, it seemed hard to immigrate to any EU country without already having a job there or like being a close descendant of a citizen

I would visualize this by:
- write a python script to brute force enumerate all the color combinations (might take too long to run but might work? probably worth trying at least)
- Create an image in Python using an image library (for example cv2) that visualizes it however you want
the easiest way to do a brute force search I see is something roughly like
(haven’t tested this so it might have bugs but the general idea should work… unless its too slow)
import itertools
color_array = [] # put all the base colors in here
generated_colors = set()
num_colors_to_combine = 1
new_colors_found = True
colors_so_far = 0
while new_colors_found:
for combination in itertools.combinations_with_replacement(color_array, num_colors_to_combine):
generated_colors.add(compute_color(combination)) # define a compute_color method to compute the color after using the input combination
new_colors_found = colors_so_far != len(generated_colors)
colors_so_far = len(generated_colors)
num_colors_to_combine += 1
if that ends up being too slow then uh
IDK what to do
if you don’t mind not enumerating every color you could cut off the loop at some number of iterations to get all the colors possible with N or less dyes
there might be a clever simplification but IDK
wait I think I misunderstood the formula
I thought the armor would depend only on the dyes used
but apparently it looks like if you use a few dyes in one craft, then use more dyes in another craft, you can get something different than if you use them all at once
uhhhhhhhh I think I would modify the code to have two loops
one for the number of crafts, and another for the dyes of each craft (which goes from 1 to 8 now)
a similar approach of “keep increasing the number of crafts until you don’t have any new colors” should still work though? (assuming, again, that its fast enough (which I kinda doubt but /shrug))
import itertools
def try_all_color_combinations(armor_color, generated_colors: set):
for num in range(1, 9):
for combination in itertools.combinations_with_replacement(color_array, num_colors_to_combine):
generated_colors.add(compute_color(combination)) # define a compute_color method to compute the color after using the input combination
color_array = [] # put all the base colors in here
generated_colors = set()
num_crafts = 1
new_colors_found = True
colors_so_far = 0
while new_colors_found:
for armor_color in generated_colors:
try_all_color_combinations(armor_color, generated_colors)
new_colors_found = colors_so_far != len(generated_colors)
colors_so_far = len(generated_colors)
num_crafts += 1
fixed code. probably

I would recommend serializing the computed colors so Python can load from a data file after the first run instead of re-computing the colors each run since they’re unlikely to change very frequently.
