  Hiya! I've made this thing over the past week or so. It's deliberately weird!

  The tiled buttons at the top are presets – use them as jumping-off points, or click your way through them to see what's possible before starting afresh by yourself. The sliders control all aspects of the generated images. Hover over the icons next to them (which feature glyphs from Imperial Aramaic and Phoenician) for descriptions of what each slider does.

  Feel free to leave links to pieces you've made in this thread – I'd love to see what you come up with.

  This is fantastic and I love the choice of keeping the symbols opaque - it makes it easier to use in a funny way. Thank you for creating it and sharing it!

  I’m very surprised to not see it on the front page! Have you posted this to /r/internetisbeautiful?

  Honestly this is wonderful and I hope to use it to introduce some creative coding concepts when teaching

  Awesome work. Would be great if this is made as a wallperper app for Android/iOs.
