As my excercises and fun investigation into the neural interface and cosmic OS, a simple probabilistic language synthesis methodology based on the ancient chinese ideas of divination and the iching. The concepts of the number of variations for data, like the possible encoding of a CD as 2^58 probably be enough to represent nearly any sound a human artist could produce audibly to the human ear. In this case we’re going to be utilising the cryptographic random function to provide start and end point co-ordinates on the x and y axis for our polygon.. In this case each polygon drawn has 4 points and are redrawn onto the same $image object. But, meh, you could generate an indeterminite number of points randomly in a single polygon call, this way the draw is continuous. Though, over about 250 xy co-ordinate points you can’t see much else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n<?php\n$x = 1920; $y = 1080;\n$image=imagecreatetruecolor($x, $y);\n$white= imagecolorallocatealpha($image, 255, 255, 255, 75);\n\/\/ Draw the polygon\n\n\/\/ generate random image co-ordinates for polygon\n\nfor ($f=0; $f <=250; $f++) {\n\n$i = rand(0,1920);\n$i2 = rand (0,1080);\n\n$j = rand(0,1920);\n$j2 = rand(0,1080);\n\n$k = rand(0,1920);\n$k2 = rand(0,1080);\n\n$l = rand(0,1920);\n$l2 = rand(0,1080);\n\n\nimagepolygon($image, array(\n $i, $i2,\n $j, $j2,\n $k, $k2,\n $l, $l2\n), 4, $white);\n\n\n\n}\n\n\nheader('Content-type: image\/png');\nImagePNG($image);\nImageDestroy($image);\n?>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nLike before we utilise the handy program I have developed for cosmic OS to create an imageset that we can turn into an animation with ffmpeg video multiplexing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the ‘frontend’ is potentially missing a more powerful AI backend, but all of the principles are pretty well established. Generative art, is really really neat, and PHP can be a simple and powerful tool when used to do the right stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
