pixelsorter (+ cli) written in golang
used my (node)js implementation as reference, which uses satyarth/pixelsort as reference
not at parity; no sorter/comparator validation, patterns/intervals/comparators arent listed in help
furst time using go, might be cursed

features

• row and spiral patterns
• sorth with a mask
• sort multiple images at once
• sort by lightness, hue, saturation, and r/g/b
• shuffle pixels, sort in waves, randomly, or do a row sort
• sort in reverse
• rotation

wanted features

• would like to mix and match thresholds (sort by red with saturation threshold, or sort by sat with darkness threshold)
• more patterns; seam carving looks cool

Mask

Random sort
pixelsort_go --input ~/Downloads/potm2310a.jpg --upper_threshold 0.4 --lower_threshold 0.2 --comparator saturation --angle 30 --randomness 0.4 --interval randomnoisy --output ./examples/webb-sort.jpg

Basic row sort w/ default options & mask
pixelsort_go --input ~/Downloads/potm2310a.jpg --mask ./examples/webb-mask.jpg --output ./examples/webb-sort.jpg

Spiral sort using most options & mask
pixelsort_go --input ~/Downloads/potm2310a.jpg --mask ./examples/webb-mask.jpg --pattern spiral --interval wave --randomness 0.4 --comparator saturation --section_length 400 --output ./examples/webb-spiral.jpg
did you know webb and hubble pics are cc4?

"elapsed" is time spent actually sorting
