Polyhash

Polyhash is an aesthetic and helpful way to visualize hash values. Remembering hashed fingerprints is very hard, and having a quick way to visually grasp hased values is of great importance.

Requirements

1. Distinct - relatively similar values must be easily distinguishable
2. Aesthetic - output must be visually appealing
3. Flexible - input of arbitrary size must be accepted

Implementation

Any arbitrary array of characters is accepted as an input. Input is hashed by the SHA1 hash algorithm, producing a 160-bit hashed value, which will then be processed by the output visualization method, which is a work in progresss.
