After some hard work, Ive finally ready to release my side project to the world. Its a tool/toy to create digital artwork using generative algorithms.

Currently it has 3 algorithms:
- Fractals - It renders the famous Mandelbrot fractal as well as other popular fractals. You can interactively zoom into the image, change the colors and adjust a variety of other settings.
- Plasma - This is based off an old AfterDark screensaver called Satori. The idea is that you click in the image to place "nodes". Each node has certain properties for how colors are emitted from it. When you place multiple nodes those colors merge and flow in interesting ways.
- Spiro - This is based off the popular Spirograph toy. You have a pen that moves around in a circle drawing lines, but that circle is itself moving around in a bigger circle. This creates interesting spirals and patterns. The user is given control over a variety of settings to adjust the drawing.
Once an image is created, it can be saved and downloaded and used for any purpose that the user can think of. We imagine that people will want to use this for social media avatars, or as components of web or print designs and layouts. They can also be used as digital wallpaper for your computer, phone or to replace your boring wall behind you in teleconferencing calls.
