  74.   <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">If you <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="chakra-link css-y3jojq" href="https://twitter.com/fortysevenfx">follow me on Twitter</a>, you may be aware

  75. of my weird <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="chakra-link css-y3jojq" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%40fortysevenfx%20%22weekend%20project%22">weekend projects</a>.</p>

  76. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">They are little challenges I give myself, usually without too many stakes

  77. involved, and with small enough a scope so that I can ship it in a day or two,

  78. while keeping spare family time.</p>

  79. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">This weekend's project is to build a transaction explorer for the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="chakra-link css-y3jojq" href="https://centralized-coin.com">Centralized Coin</a>

  80. experiment. Something like a blockchain explorer, but without the crypto overhead.</p>

  81. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">Each node in the system is represented by a hash. Because humans are

  82. terrible at reading and quickly identifying large numbers (other than by their

  83. first or last few digits), a visual representation is needed.</p>

  84. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">There are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="chakra-link css-y3jojq" href="https://barro.github.io/2018/02/avatars-identicons-and-hash-visualization/">many solutions</a>

  85. out there: WordPress and GitHub identicons, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="chakra-link css-y3jojq" href="https://robohash.org/">robohash</a>, monsterID etc..</p>

  86. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">I wanted one that still looks abstract (not as opinionated as monsters or robots),

  87. and that plays nice in a rounded avatar UI component.</p>

  88. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">This is what I ended up with:<br><small class="chakra-text css-1lrujbg">Change the input below to see how the SHA-256 hash changes the render</small></p>

  89. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">If you are allergic to maths and trigonometry, feel free to play with the more

  90. detailed <a class="chakra-link css-y3jojq" href="/hashvatar">interactive example here</a>. Otherwise, let's dive into

  91. how it's done.</p>

  92. <h2 class="chakra-heading css-1rjvsw4" id="space-partitioning">Space Partitioning<a class="chakra-link css-jchjfc" aria-label="anchor" href="#space-partitioning">#</a></h2>

  93. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">Many of the existing solutions produce square images, yet avatars are often

  94. displayed as circles. They would lose information on the corners when rounded,

  95. so instead of a cartesian (x-y) approach, we're going to use polar (angle-radius)

  96. coordinates instead.</p>

  97. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">A grid in cartesian space maps to concentric circles and pie-like cuts in

  98. polar space.</p>

  99. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">SHA-256 hashes have 256 bits of information that we need to represent. Dividing

  100. a circle into 256 sections would make each section too small to be visually useful,

  101. and would only leave 1 bit of "value" to represent in each section

  102. (0 or 1, black or white).</p>

  103. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">Instead, we're going to divide the circle into 32 sections:</p>

  104. <ul role="list" class="css-80rt2u"><li class="css-77vupy">4 concentric rings</li><li class="css-77vupy">8 pie-like cuts</li></ul>

  105. <p class="chakra-text css-8fkoyy">The resulting SVG code for such a grid looks like this (in a React component):</p>
