Attached: 1 image Passively participating in #Genuary2024 — Day 9 ASCII. In summer 2022 I released ASCII-SCAPE, a textmode remix of my earlier C-SCAPE co-evolving multi-cellular automata simulation piece. Technially, it should been called UTF-SCAPE, but hey (some variations actually are strictly ASCII only). The piece uses 1200+ handpicked rule combinations (based on custom rules & neighborhood configurations I generated/searched/collected/curated with my own tools over the past 20+ years), 32 character sets, 40 color themes, all creating literally billions of possible combinations... The piece also allows recording & exporting chunks of the simulation as plain text files (just press X to start/end recording) https://art.thi.ng/ascii-scape/ (Reload for new random combination!) The following keyboard shortcuts are available: - space : toggle simulation updates (pause/play) - r : randomize environment - x : start/stop recording - f : toggle scroll speed (fast/slow) More info about both sibling projects at the links below: ASCII-SCAPE https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/16205 C-SCAPE https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/13992 #GenerativeArt #EvolutionaryArt #ASCIIArt #Art #TextMode #CellularAutomata #Simulation #ThingUmbrella #TypeScript #FXHash
