Cellular automata drawing prompt generator

October 26, 2020

While working on a totally unrelated project, I accidentally implemented a procedural drawing prompt generator. The technique used to generate the images is a simple modification to Conway’s game of life. I’ve used this algorithm to generate caves for roguelikes in the past. Here’s an old post that explains how it works: Cellular Automata Cave Generation.

Here’s a link to the drawing prompt generator: gridbugs.github.io/drawing-prompt
