Generative artwork in node/browser based on a seeded random.
Blog post and more details:
Generative Art with Node.js and Canvas
Live Demo
You can view the algorithm in real-time here:
In Chrome, you can right-click the canvas an "Save As" to get the full resolution.
Outputs
Here are a few examples.
You can download some of these as lossless PNG here.
Usage
git clone https://github.com/mattdesl/color-wander.git
cd color-wander
npm install
To run the browser experience:
npm run start
When you find a seed you like, you can render it as a high-resolution (2560x1440) print. The following will render a PNG into the output/ folder.
node print [seed]
Example:
node print 180423
Note: For this experiment, the Node output resolution is currently the same as the browser canvas. Typically this approach, using
node-canvas, is only worthwhile for much larger canvas resolutions.
