FactoBASE Mobile App

My first real GUI programming project that I did just for myself. It started from some silly origins and ended up lodging itself in my mind until I finally went ahead and made it.

The silly idea of FactoBASE started back when I was working nights. Along with a colleague and friend of mine, we frequently had time to kill, and occasionally did so by presenting nonsense puzzles to each other. In such a manner, one night we were discussing number systems using different bases. We wondered what it would be like if instead of every digit being of the same base, each digit was one base higher than the last. What would it look like? How would it work?

At first, that was all it was. But it got into my head and I periodically would revisit the idea. Eventually, I spent a slow afternoon figuring out how the conversions would work and wrote a python script to do it. From there, it wasn't too long until I wrapped the whole thing in a GUI using Kivy (the first framework I learned).

So here we are, a silly idea turned into a mostly useless app, entirely for my own amusement.
