Wow - 2009. Excellent post.
I recently entered a competition (February 2013) and used this technique without having seen this blog. I also used webworkers and SVG.
Source: https://github.com/binarymax/randriaan https://github.com/binarymax/randriaan
Demo: http://binarymax.com/randriaan.html http://binarymax.com/randriaan.html
Sorry, FF or Chrome only (because of how I load the webworkers from the same page)
@tlarkworthy - I had a version that did 12 images for each generation and chose the best - It was a better result but it really throttled the CPU and took down the browser on my weaker machine, so went with the single thread.
- aerique 13y agoI also did the same for that competition (while having seen the blog): http://github.com/aerique/vbwga http://github.com/aerique/vbwga My "artistic" spin was I wanted to reproduce the Victory Boogie Woogie using only circles (see vbw-example.pdf and vbw-example-2.pdf in previous link).
- binarymax 13y agoHow was the event? Still sorry I couldn't make it. Looks like it was a lot of fun.
- aerique 13y agoIt was good fun especially the drinks afterwards were a good occassion to talk with the other developers and organizers. The jury was heavily biased towards algorithms that created VBWs from nothing so we didn't stand a chance :-)
- guiambros 13y agobtw, the original article about using Genetic Algorithms to derive Mona Lisa's image also generated quite a bit of interesting discussions here, 4 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=389727 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=389727
