armanddp / iphone_vibrations
Created May 27, 2012 10:26
Custom Vibrations for iPhone
To use Cus­tom Vibra­tions, open the Set­tings app, tap “Gen­er­al” then “Acces­si­bil­i­ty” then turn Cus­tom Vibra­tions on. Now in Set­tings tap “Sounds,” then “Vibra­tion” under the head­ing “Vibra­tion Patterns.” At the bot­tom, tap “Cre­ate New Vibration.” Start tap­ping on the screen, and your pat­tern of tap­ping will be record­ed for use with any alert. You can make sev­er­al of these. The most com­mon use for Cus­tom Vibra­tions is to be able to tell who’s call­ing when your iPhone is in silent mode.

Function to transition between two colors
def gradiate(color1, color2, steps)
[color1].tap do |colors|
red, green, blue = (color1 >> 16), ((color1 >> 8) & 0xFF), (color1 & 0xFF)

(steps += 1).times do |i|
ratio = i.to_f / steps
colors << (((red_diff * ratio) + red).to_i << 16 | ((green_diff * ratio) + green).to_i << 8 | ((blue_diff * ratio) + blue).to_i)
