Generative Art while learning Rust

Generative Art while learning Rust

The binaries in this repo create generative artworks that can be fed to an axidraw machine that uses a paint brush/pen/pencil to paint an actual painting.

Generate a new iteration of a given artwork by running cargo run --bin {{name}} e.g. cargo run --bin forces.

Currently Forces and Piet will add their configuration (all parameters that created the final output) as a comment at the end of the svg and they can be recreated (somewhat) by supplying them as CLI parameters

forces --size=1500.0 --line-count=5000 --chaos=1.5 --smoothness=1000.0 --seed=999

piet --size=1000 --rounds=5 --split-chance=0.7

Generated artworks can be found in ./outputs/{name}/{name}-{timestamp}.svg
