Heptagram

Tool for divination based upon the I Ching Terminal based Heptagram generator (akin to the I Ching's hexagram but with seven lines)

---

To-do

• Create a list of names for the heptagrams that show up when generated
• Create mechanism for "changing lines" (reference changing lines in I Ching)

---

Research

• Historical hexagram orders, binary, King Wen Sequence ect
• Chakras reflective of a line within each heptagram 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 1: Root 2: Sacral 3: Solar Plexus 4: Heart 5: Throat 6: Third Eye 7: Crown With Root on the bottom and Crown on top
• Probabilities in changing lines for coding changing lines (look into coins I Ching method and sticks method for probability.)
• Trigrams

heptagram's Issues

Allow feature for "Changing lines"

In the I Ching there are what's known as "changing lines"
They represent a change from one state to another.
Perhaps they could be represented as ><
For instance

• < - & --><--
  Whereas the normal, non changing lines
  -- -- & ------
  Like this ^

And a full Heptagram could look something like this

---

---

--><--

• < -

---

(Since this is a terminal application the text will be the same width therefore changing lines will not be wider that their normal counterparts)

Create text file with Heptagram names

Create file that reflects names of Heptagrams and create a read function to print out the names
Into the print out feature.
