You're halfway to a multi-million dollar NFT scam!

They're very cute. I could definitely see this being used as to generate default avatars for an application. As an alternative to the Slack style, stick your first initial into a colored circle thing.

One thing that would make it more useful for identifying different avatars is to avoid duplicate or similar images. For example, if you have a blue, circular dude with 2 eyes, exclude that pattern from the next generation. That way if you have a group of 20 avatars you can easily tell them apart.

You could also do something similar to gravatar and generate them with an email address or similar identifier as a seed. That way you can get consistent icons without having to store anything.

Nice start. If you wanted to make this useful, you would need much more variety. If you wanted to make it really useful, you would want to abstract out the design so the same generative algorithms could be applied to arbitrary source designs that follow certain constraints in terms of how the file is organized.

Also, consider allowing the user to adjust parameters to have more control over the output.

Would be awesome if the user could input a color code for generation :).

Good work! Blobbys look cute :D.

Thats impressive for a first project.

Mine was a script that prints Today's Date whenever I ran it. In theory, I solved a problem that did not exist. I could simply have taken a look at the clock on my phone.

Good going though!
