# color-wander

Generative artwork in node/browser based on a seeded random.

Blog post and more details:

[Generative Art with Node.js and Canvas](http://mattdesl.svbtle.com/generative-art-with-nodejs-and-canvas)

## Live Demo

You can view the algorithm in real-time here:

http://color-wander.surge.sh/

In Chrome, you can right-click the canvas an "Save As" to get the full resolution.

## Outputs

Here are a few examples.

  

  

  

  

  

  

You can download some of these as lossless PNG [here](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qhrwaw2rzjqbf5r/AABsYzFc7a4ewWkIJYHHBs85a?dl=0).

## Usage

```sh

git clone https://github.com/mattdesl/color-wander.git

cd color-wander

npm install

```

To run the browser experience:

```sh

npm run start

```

When you find a seed you like, you can render it as a high-resolution (2560x1440) print. The following will render a PNG into the `output/` folder.

```sh

node print [seed]

```

Example:

```sh

node print 180423

```

> *Note:* For this experiment, the Node output resolution is currently the same as the browser canvas. Typically this approach, using `node-canvas`, is only worthwhile for much larger canvas resolutions.

## License

This project has two licenses, depending on the usage. The source code is licensed as MIT. This means you can use a piece of the project, such as one of the utility functions, within your own libraries and projects. However; to maintain my own artistic intellectual property, and to avoid rampant commercialization of the artwork, the "art project" (color-wander) as a whole and any output imagery from it (including current and new output images from the existing and/or slightly modified codebases) is licensed under [Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). This means that if you use the code here to produce something that is close in likeness to the color-wander outputs, and then attempt to commercialize it (i.e. selling the work for profit), it will not fall within the fair use of the project licensing, and will be a form of copyright infringement.
