Algorithmic Art

Features

• Generates algorithmic art using p5.js
• Supports seeded randomness for reproducibility
• Allows interactive parameter exploration via UI controls
• Creates self-contained HTML artifacts with Anthropic branding
• Guides users through creating an algorithmic philosophy

Use Cases

• Creating generative art from code
• Exploring flow fields and particle systems algorithmically
• Generating unique visual art based on computational aesthetics
• Designing interactive art pieces with tunable parameters

Non-Goals

• Creating static images directly
• Copying existing artists' work
• Providing a general-purpose code editor
• Generating art without a defined algorithmic philosophy

Workflow

1. Define an algorithmic philosophy (4-6 paragraphs) emphasizing computational processes, seeded randomness, and parametric variation.
2. Implement the philosophy using p5.js, starting from the provided `viewer.html` template, customizing parameters and the core algorithm.
3. Ensure the generated HTML artifact is self-contained, includes Anthropic branding, and offers interactive controls for parameters and seed navigation.
4. Output the philosophy as a .md file and the interactive art as a single HTML file.

Practices
