I dislike it. Clumsy and noisy. Just bad.

This is so darn cool. Better than 99% of modern computer art. Really says something about good graphic design.

Or. Your first consideration of the problem is your first glance into the fog, revealing the superficial. Then, as you continue to peer in that direction, more is revealed. One phenomenon, 2 perfectly good explanations. Like, is it a variab

Ok, a solution appears . But does the solution manifest (a flower grows in the garden) or does it become apparent (the fog clears to reveal it)? Because the phenomenon we're discussing could be attributed to either cause. But they

It's better than being identified as somebody who has a high probability of becoming a thief in the future, I suppose. Do we do that? Do we want to do that?

That would be crunchy.

Like I said, a certain look. A diminutiveness. A delicacy in the features. But overall a certain shape.

To be fair, the intellect is worshipped to an absurd degree in our society. Some mockery is entirely appropriate.

There's a few cartoons going around where they describe the effect of various drugs using graphical patterns, facial expressions, etc. That's a rich vein for development. It could be generalized and optimized. Because states of co

Maybe normal people are nerdified. Spending large amounts of time focusing your attention on programming stuff can do that. This is the best scene : https://youtu.be/cjyqWsrpQAA?si=mCzW_05uF_udToyA

Have you met the public? Fame is an acquired taste and more likely the lesser of evils.

If you constrain your geometry to a tesselation, it gets much more precise, simple and fast. Like those old atari games where everything was little square tiles / pixels. But little squares aren't the most expressive geometry. How

Here's an easy way. Make a bunch of sequential images Put them together with ffmpeg (which is free. You just do a command line command and specify the dir with the image files. You can also specify fps, quality etc) Voila, it's an

There is beauty in code. In logic, loops, math, random, etc. And the larger land beyond that. The artist sees it, brings it out. This is not just another way to draw a bowl of fruit. We're exploring alien country.
