Murrelet (source and demo!)

This summer I open-sourced the framework I use for nearly all of my generative art. I also shared a web-based demo of a simple sketch based on that framework.

The framework’s codebase is here. I generally try to share my code as open-source, so I’m happy that I’ve finally gotten the code in a state I can open source it. I’m looking forward to being able to share full code examples of some sketches.

I also have a demo running on the web here, where I use Rust compiled to WASM. This is a personal breakthrough because it means I can still write in Rust, but be able to share outputs on the web and use web browser features.

The projects were also fun on the tech side. I entirely decoupled the framework from Nannou (which I’ve learned a lot from but at this point, I was mostly using it for rendering and animation management.)

I still have many possibilities for the future here: I’m looking forward to sharing more interactive demos, and I’m starting to see what a more stable API for the framework could look like. I’m excited about reaching this milestone where I can share a lot more!
