Algorithms

This is a web application that implements various algorithms that generate interesting visual patterns. The application lets you configure and tweak the parameters of those algorithms, but there isn't much documentation right now.

Setup

1. Install node.js.
2. Clone this repo.
3. Navigate to the project directory in the terminal (command line).
4. Run npm install. This might take a few minutes and it downloads all of the dependencies into node_modules folder.

Run

1. Navigate to the project directory in the terminal.
2. Run npm run dev.
3. Open http://localhost:5173/ in your browser

Description

This application doesn't document itself, but here I will refer to online resources where you can read about the algorithms.

Pixel Shader

This section allows the user to write some JavaScript code that paints a single pixel. Perhaps it's not correct to call it a "shader" since it's not using WebGL.
