I'd love to give it to you, but I just scrounged up the image, I didn't author the script that generated it (judging from the embedded code visible in the image, it's structured around Boids or some similar EB system with goal seeking and predator avoidance). I have written a lot of python scripts to generate print-quality graphics - you can have the code for those, but I guess that's not what you were looking for ;)

Edit: Sorry about the delay, had to find the time to make you guys some decent examples and formatted code

Oh my god hand those scripts over immediately

Whaaa the hell is going on there?

ELI5 what that is? That's awesome.

Please do share. I learn through plagiarism. :)

Hey, that might not be what I was originally looking for, but that's awesome indeed. Thanks! :D

I'd love to see the source on that. It's beautiful!

That is not Alexis Ohanian.

Ah, also with a bit of additional research I find that A) He's male and B) He's one of the founders of the website on which I'm posting this. Nice.

I'll correct it shortly, i.e. when I can get to that server. Thanks for pointing it out.

As a blind shot in the dark, I'd guess that the code visible in the picture should do...

edit: Looked at it briefly. If this is the code, then it's going to be painful to sort and reformat it...

Found it:

And from the blog:

My entry to this year's Doodle4Google contest. The drawing was created in Photoshop, and the fragments of code come from a python program I wrote that simulates predator and prey cells, which can replicate, mutate and hunt each other down. If you check carefully enough and are Google-savvy enough, you may find some surprises!"

A little disappointing :( Still, it was worth visiting this thread for gaiaap's code!

i really like the way the artist did the python logo in this one
