checkerboard-layout

Hypothesis

We hypothesize that if we remove the spaces from between the words of a text, that text can still be read as long as each word has alternating contrast.

Apparatus

• Python 2.7.6 (probably works with older versions too)
• An input text
• A modern web browser (to see the result)

Method

• Display each alternating word in an alternating colour (black or white) on an alternating background colour (white or black.)

Observations

Here is a screenshot of Firefox 33.0 displaying something by Lord Dunsany that was passed through this script:
