The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text. The person consulting the I Ching asks a question and yarrow sticks or coins are used to generate a response, which is a hexagram, six lines of yin or yang. Each hexagram is given meaning through the arrangement of yin (broken) and yang (solid) lines and the trigrams they form within the hexagram. Since each line has 2 possibilities there are 26 or 64 possible hexagrams. In addition, each line may be static or dynamic. A line may be yin, yang, old yin (becoming yang), or old yang (becoming yin). When there are dynamic lines, the reading will produce a Primary Hexagram and a Related Hexagram, produced by changes in the dynamic lines.
This project is a simple system for experimentation with programming languages and frameworks. The core logic, server-side behavior, and testing is implemented in Clojure for now, with other languages to come.
