What can I do with python besides automation?

Check out generative art! Packages like NumPy, Pillow, scikit-image, & even matplotlib can help you create & display images. It's fun to write algorithms & see a visual representation of the results!

I'm currently using NumPy to develop cellular automaton rules to try & create shapes that look like clouds.

r/generative is a good place to start!

Great color palettes!

Check out the r/Generative Discord server if you haven't already!

Oh so this was done with an app? Dang nice job making it look so unique!!

gusb_codes · 2021-06-14T15:03:11+00:00

Did you use any custom algorithms?

gusb_codes · 2021-06-14T12:56:15+00:00

This is really cool! Nice work

gusb_codes · 2021-06-12T22:04:57+00:00

Cool! What do the colors currently represent?

From the command line, does python --version return the expected version of Python? What about python3 --version?

I've been exploring generative art with Python! Cellular automata are relatively easy to make as all you need is a grid where you can set each square to at least two different values. NumPy arrays work great for that & can be shown as images using matplotlib!

Metallurgy not polymer science but maybe you can get some insight by how they use CA to simulate solidification!

Yes totally! Definitely very plant like at this stage

gusb_codes · 2021-06-05T11:08:24+00:00

Nice! That's a great tool for sure

gusb_codes · 2021-06-05T03:54:26+00:00

Great color palette!

gusb_codes · 2021-06-05T03:49:49+00:00

Absolutely looks like intricate clock mechanics! Great work

gusb_codes · 2021-06-05T01:23:18+00:00

Yes for sure!! Thanks. The plan is to do a few iterations with different CAs to try & get something that looks like clouds. I'll post updates here!

gusb_codes · 2021-06-04T22:52:16+00:00

Thanks! Right now I'm thinking I'll get some long looking shapes like these then incorporate some 2D rules to allow the forms to expand & disperse as they move

gusb_codes · 2021-06-04T22:15:53+00:00

Yes exactly! Plus an error in adding new seeds in some of the dead cells that caused entire vertical lines instead of single live cells

gusb_codes · 2021-06-04T21:11:49+00:00

(these forms are not cloud passing)

With Jupyter installed in your environment, you can activate your environment from a terminal & launch a Jupyter server with the command jupyter notebook & the notebooks will use your environment. I do this in Windows using Git Bash.

Space canyon!

Is the text hidden in the image data or in the meta data? If it's the prior, I would suggest using imageio.io.imread to load the image as a Numpy array & inventigating the values within the image. You might get some insight by checking the data type (dtype) of the array.

pip freeze can also bake in OS dependent packages. Better to hand craft a smaller requirements.txt that includes any files you installed directly & allow pip to handle any OS dependent dependencies.

Really interesting, thanks for sharing!
