Create a Clipper

Instructions

Do you like small spacecraft? I like small spacecraft. Some you may have heard of are JUICE, Dawn, Psyche, Osiris Rex, & Lucy. But one thing I don't like about them is how they're always gray. So, will you help me make this clipper more interesting? There are infinite possibilities! Well, actually just 654,804,701,899,061,656,311,936. [][][][][]o[][][][][] Controls in depth (There's interesting stuff below all the controls if you want to skip ahead!) Click the "Background" button to change the color of the background. Click the "Overlay" button to change the pattern of the background. Click a panel on a wing to change just that panel. Hold the space key while clicking a panel to change all the panels of that wing together; they will all end up the new color of the specific panel that you clicked. Click the "Left wing" or "Right wing" button to change all the panels of that wing together; they will all end up the new color of the leftmost panel on that wing. Click the antennae individually to change them individually. Hold space while clicking one of them to change them together; they will both become the new color of the one you clicked. Press the "Antennae" button to change both of them together; they will both become the new color of the leftmost antenna. Click the center of the spacecraft, or the "Center" button, to change the center. Click on the "Decorations" button to change the decorations, or click on the decorations themselves to change them (it starts blank so you'll need to use the button). If you want more sets of decorations, hold the space key while clicking one to lock it (click the decoration itself, not the button) & it will stay in that costume while you add more decorations. The original will be set to empty so you'll need to click the button to get more decorations. Click on a locked decoration (not a normal one) to delete it. You can have up to five sets of decorations at once. Press "Save" to acquire a save code. This code can be copied like regular text. Then press "OK" to hide the save code. Press "Load" to be able to enter a save code. There will also be a menu of all the codes that you have saved. Entering a save code will set the spacecraft & background to exactly how they were when the code was acquired, even if you were not the one who acquired it. Press the "Random" button to randomly change all of the elements of the spacecraft & background. This is irreversible. Hold space while pressing it for a version that will keep it more organized. That is, every panel on one wing will be the same, & both antennae will be the same. Press "Done" to hide the buttons. To get them back, press the B key. Fullscreen is recommended. & don't spam the buttons! It won't be faster. There's a fraction of a second of wait time to prevent bugs. [][][][][]o[][][][][] Infinite Possibilities (This is the interesting section!) Each panel has 21 possibilities, as does the center & each antenna. There are 24 backdrops & 14 overlays. There are 19 decoration options, & five sets of which, but used decorations, excluding the blank one, don't repeat. So our number of possibilities is: (21^13)*24*14*(1+18*17÷2+18*17*16÷6+18*17*16*15÷24+18*17*16*15*14÷120) = (7^13)*(3^13)*8*3*7*2*12616 = (7^14)*(3^14)*16*12616 = 654804701899061656311936 So, there are 654,804,701,899,061,656,311,936 possibilities. Isn't that bizarre? I mean, it's no 52 factorial (more on that later), but it's still so many that if you started clicking "Random" when the universe began & clicked once per second until our sun expelled its surface & became a white dwarf (at which point the universe would be around 20 billion years old), the chance that you'd ever get the same result twice in a row would be less than one in one million. Alternatively, it's the combined number of neurons in the brains of 7 trillion humans, so roughly a thousand times the current number of human neurons. 654,804,701,899,061,656,311,936 may seem like a lot, but still, over 123 tredecillion of it could fit into 52 factorial (a tredecillion is a 1 with 42 zeroes). Even if you squared it first, 188 quadrillion of it could fit into 52 factorial. 654,804,701,899,061,656,311,936 Six hundred & fifty-four sextillion, eight hundred & four quintillion, seven hundred & one quadrillion, eight hundred & ninety-nine trillion, sixty-one billion, six hundred & fifty-six million, three hundred & eleven thousand, nine hundred & thirty-six. Okay, so there are technically 6.5 sextillion possibilities. To a person, most of those look pretty similar. What's the information density of this thing, anyways?
