Most of the images and gifs that you’ll see on this page have been generated with code.
With creative coding you use programming to create something expressive instead of something functional.
My tools:
Sublime Text editor
Node.js with npm package manager
canvas-sketch library
I’ve always liked generative art and admired artists creating it as they need to be skilled in programming, maths and design. The need for visuals on this page gave me a perfect reason to dabble around with creative coding myself.
It’s a very rewarding type of coding. You get to observe how your piece changes as you format it in an almost infinite amount of ways. Additionally, the generated visuals enhance your understanding of code so it’s great for visual learners.
