hsl2rgb - 140byt.es

This method converts color values from hue-saturation-lightness (HSL) to it's red-green-blue representation.

Check out the demo!

Special thanks to tsaniel, Alex Kloss, subzey, Jed Schmidt, and maettig for there unbelievable magic and effort!

For more information

See the 140byt.es site for a showcase of entries (built itself using 140-byte entries!), and follow @140bytes on Twitter.

To learn about byte-saving hacks for your own code, or to contribute what you've learned, head to the wiki.

140byt.es is brought to you by Jed Schmidt, with help from Alex Kloss. It was inspired by work from Thomas Fuchs and Dustin Diaz.

@maetig: @subzey approach is actually pretty simple. In the end, a is an integer in the range [ 0; 5 ], in short it only uses the 3 LSB. We are looking for a shorter way to write a=0|a%6 , (a+2)%6 and (a+4)%6 . With the knowledge that a|0 only uses the 3 LSB, we can just look for a numbers that don't touch those bits and whose modulo 6 is either 2 or 4. And that's what we have: 8%6==2 and 16%6==4

Actually, we can probably save 2 more bytes by doing:

/* ... */return[b[0|a],b[(a|16)%6],b[(a|8)%6]]}

Sorry if I missed that shot. Haven't read the whole comments thread :p

@p01, thanks, but this will break the function if hue is 1. Then your b[0|a] becomes b[6]. Unfortunately this is not checked in test.html. See my comment above.
@aemkei, please edit the "137 bytes" in index2.js.

I see. My bad.
Didn't realize a was actually in the range [ 0 ; 1 ] not [ 0 ; 1 [

@LeverOne: Not sure if using 0.3, 1.3 and 2.6 will generate correct results for all values.

I wrote a test to compare the solutions. I'm not sure why, but @LeverOne's works. I need some time to dig down to this. I have the feeling there is an other byte we can save.

About your Rubik's Pocket Cube solver. Yes, it's impressive. Good work. Many new tricks to learn. Just a little problem. The main logic comes from the turn and spin arrays. You can not tell this a "Rubik's Pocket Cube solver in 123 bytes" without counting the arrays. Same problem with all Base64 encoders at 140byt.es.

@subzey, with fuzzer, joke :) And yes, jsperf's results are questionable. These different versions can not have equal speed in some browsers.

Another 113 bytes version. Just used rotation of b array by 1:

function(a,b,c){a*=6;b=[c+=b*=c<.5?c:1-c,c,c-a%1*b*2,c-=b*=2,c,c+a%1*b];return[b[-~a%6],b[(4-~a)%6],b[(2-~a)%6]]}

UPD: It seems that @LeverOne's 113 is faster: jsperf test. @LeverOne, how did you do it? :)
