Abstracting and Building Coll Data

We've got some x, y locations but what about using it now? Dr. Hamel and I previously discussed some of our options:

1. using the locations as a node for each

2. dividing the surface into a grid for applications like a step sequence (this would provide less sensitivity to the actual positioning of the colour since it is generalized into an area rather than a point)

3. there was another one but it's escaping me at the moment...

OH. Also, we want to accurately present when a colour ISN'T there. Otherwise, that's a lot of colour data left inside our tracker that just isn't there! So let's start with that...

This turned out to not be too difficult. Since our Tracker patch produces -1 values when the colour isn't present (which was simply selected out), we can use sel -1 to produce some message that the colour simply isn't present! Location (-100, -100) is now sent out when there colour isn't there. Done.

Now to make a Coll Grid Data Structure! This way we'll have an index of different colours and their respective live locations to use for musical applications!
