Prompts

A group of generative artists have collaborated and created a "prompt" for each day. Click for the prompts for each day. Here are the actual prompts, but you’re only supposed to do them on that particular day.

Project Structure

In each day's directory, you should find the following.

• Art artifact (jpeg, png or gif) files under the images/ directory
• A brief description of the end product, and possibly the thinking behind it, where appropriate
• Some technical notes and challenges (if any)
• References, if any
• Code (typically, the *.py that you can run under Processing)

Code and Common Modules

For most of these, I am using the Processing Framework. Since I mostly code in Python, I use the Python extension of Processing, which is not as popular as its Java version. Also, I sometimes create small resuable code segments which I use in multiple projects. I'm sharing all my genart code, in case it is useful to others. These I tend to keep in a folder called common.
