Generative Design Programming

Week 6 (29.10.): Agentic systems

4h

Topic: Multi-agent systems, objects, brush, cellular automata, flow fields.

HW3 assignment

Deadline: 11.11.2024 (including)

Create one of:
digital brush
- cellular automata
flowfields
- anything related to agents (emergent)

If you incorporate emergent behavior or properties (something unexpected and unexplainable is displayed what you couldn't expect from the code), that’s great accomplishment!

Look in the slides for inspiration. The work needs to show skills learnt from this week and be more than was made during live-coding.

Submission

To export your artworks as images, use function save(). In case you are interested in postprocessing in external editor, you can try vector format (SVG) too. If your sketch has motion, choose a best picture (which shows the motion) while also exporting a video.

Download the code from the P5 editor (top-left corner: File > Download).

Add to the downloaded zip:

  • link.txt: the link to the code, a commentary if you want
  • best image(s) - at least 3
  • videos if it's animated/interactive (best is to use Xbox Game Bar on Windows, other option is to try p5.capture library, or save the frames in each draw cycle as png and merge them using a tool like ffmpeg or After Effects)
