The Angle A Sunflower Knows
Turn 137.507° between seeds and they pack perfectly. Turn 137.3° and it falls apart.

Circles All The Way Down
Draw any closed shape and it turns out to be a stack of rotating circles. Provably, and with a receipt.
dsp geometry generative
17
Polite Randomness
The same number of random points twice, one following a single extra rule. Only one of them looks random.
algorithms generative sampling
14
Silk
Four thousand particles drifting through a noise field, and the one operation that makes it look like fluid instead of sand.
generative simulation noise
12
Slow Lightning
Particles wandering at random until they stick, growing frost, and two ways of measuring it that disagree by a quarter.
simulation fractals generative

Carve And Escape
A maze digs itself out of solid rock, then the same algorithm turns round and walks back out.

Soft Edges
Six blobs merging and splitting, their outline pulled out of a grid of numbers by a sixteen-case lookup table.
geometry algorithms generative
8
Settling Cells
Ninety scattered points, each repeatedly stepping to the middle of its own territory, discovering honeycomb.

Chemical Garden
Two chemicals, one shader, and a seed in the URL, so every link grows a different organism.
buildwebgl shaders generative

One True Angle
Three thousand cubes that look like rubble from every direction but one, where they line up into a letter.

Chladni Figures
Sand on a vibrating plate draws the shape of a standing wave. Sweep for a resonance and watch it assemble.
