Re: Colour identification with blob finder

As described in the API docs

http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-2.1.0/player/structplayer__blobfinder__blob.html

> The color is stored as packed 32-bit RGB, i.e., 0x00RRGGBB.

so you need something like:

if( blob.color == 0x00FF00 ) // green
{...}

or:

const uint32_t red = 0xFF0000;
const uint32_t green = 0x00FF00;
const uint32_t blue = 0x0000FF;

switch( blob.color )
{
 case red: puts( "RED" ); break;
 case green: puts( "GREEN" ); break;
 case blue: puts( "BLUE" ); break;
 default: puts( "something else" );
}

While using hex values may look a little clumsy, it's traditional and
very compact.
