OK, WELL. I HAVE CERTAINLY GOT SOMETHING. UNSURE IF ITS CORRECT

woo! yeah!! wooo!!

this is... also a discreet fourier transform!! i am even shakier on what is going on here but i am making progress. its still on the cpu so it runs at less than 1 fps (it took me almost half an hour to record this 4 second clip!!!) but once i put it on the gpu and implement FFT (which is just an algorithm to do discreet fourier transforms really fast) i should be able to tune the values more and increase the samples

this one is 64 x 64, and i want to get up to at Least 512 x 512. luckily 16 x 16 runs at a healthy 33 fps :)

my journey continues.. i successfully implemented a discreet fourier transform algorithm :) my knowledge of it is.. still pretty shaky but essentially i am taking a bunch of different waves (think, soundwaves) and combining them all into One Single Waveform (top right), and then doing some Hell Math to sample the waveform and individually pick out the wavelengths (visualized via the white bars at the bottom right)

so basically if i was given the top waveform, id be able to use DFT to figure out that it was made with the bottom two played together
