GoldenGaze & Plankton
Plankton Plankton
You ever notice how that warm glow at sunset is just a bunch of numbers waiting to be decoded? I bet I could hack the sensor and turn that light into a secret code.

That glow feels like a whispered poem, not just a bunch of numbers. I try to catch the story it tells before it fades, but I’m always tempted to let my camera do the decoding for me. How would you code it?

Sure thing. Grab a pic, read the pixel colors, map them to letters, and you’ve got a “color poem.” A quick Python snippet: read the image, pick a representative pixel from each line, convert RGB to a hex string, then use a lookup table to turn that hex into a letter. Save it as a text file and boom, the sunset’s secret story is in plain ASCII. Easy, no heavy math, just a bit of pixel‑hacking fun.
