Simple programming for art project

Monkey

I am an artist and need to hire someone to write some code for an art project. I need a program that repeatedly combine two photographs together.

I have created a little drawing to show what I mean as it is difficult to explain. The diagram uses a grid of 4 squares and shows every combination you can have of 2 black squares and 2 white squares within that grid of 4. The black represents one image and the white the other so in each variation half of each image is visible.

For the piece i wish to make the images will be cut into about 200 squares and the program will cycle randomly through the possible combinations of those squares (where 100 squares from each image are always visible at any given time).

It should be possible I don't want ownership of the code but do require ownership of the artwork.
I was wondering if anyone is interested in taking on this small job (paid of course.) Please contact me by PM if interested.

I'll have a go for free.
Are the images all going to be the same resolution?

(might need latest java)
Something like that?

Not quite what I meant - the image should not be jumbled up what should change is the parts of the image that are visible not the positions of those parts. The idea is that various composite faces will be generated like in this image.

Ah, Ok. Gimme a few mins

Right done (I literally typed two key strokes). Just want to find some images that don't look crap

Here are my two images.

More blocks:

If you find the largest common factor between the width and the height of the images, thats the largest in pixels the square blocks can be (unless you have a few blocks which aren't so square). Those images were 263*363 which only has 1 as a common factor. I resized them to 264*363 which means they can have 33*33 blocks as the largest square blocks. The first link has some non square blocks at the bottom, the second, they are all square.

Thanks the second one is absolutely perfect.
