Algorithmic Art

Create generative art with code using p5.js, featuring seeded randomness for reproducibility.

Core Concepts

Seeded Randomness

// Use seed for reproducible results
function setup() {
  randomSeed(42);
  noiseSeed(42);
}

Noise Functions

// Perlin noise for organic patterns
let x = noise(frameCount * 0.01) * width;
let y = noise(frameCount * 0.01 + 1000) * height;

Common Patterns

Flow Fields

let cols, rows, scale = 20;
let particles = [];
let flowfield;
 
function setup() {
  createCanvas(800, 800);
  cols = floor(width / scale);
  rows = floor

Recursive Trees

function branch(len) {
  line(0, 0, 0, -len);
  translate(0, -len);
 
  if (len > 4) {
    push();
    rotate(PI / 6);
    branch(len

Particle Systems

class Particle {
  constructor() {
    this.pos = createVector(random(width), random(height));
    this.vel = createVector(0, 0);
    this.acc = createVector(0, 0);

Color Palettes

// Define palette
const palette = ['#264653', '#2a9d8f', '#e9c46a', '#f4a261', '#e76f51'];
 
// Random from palette
fill(random(palette));

Best Practices

Use noLoop() for static pieces, save with save('art.png')
Experiment with blend modes: blendMode(ADD)
Layer transparency for depth
Use frameCount for animation
