Jos Vro­mans writes about using steganog­ra­phy to add the code that was need­ed to gen­er­ate an image, into the image data itself.

Ran­dom­ly gen­er­at­ing puz­zles is a nice prob­lem for begin­ners and tin­ker­ers, so I want­ed to write up the approach that I came up with.

P5JS does­n’t offer native SVG sup­port, there is how­ev­er a way to run P5 in an ​‘SVG’ mode using zenozeng’s SVG run­time. Run­ning P5 in this SVG mode also requires a lot of inter­ac­tion with the DOM, which we’ll dis­cuss in this post.

A course due for release in Sept 2024 on plaint­ing with plot­ters, like AxiDraw.

In this tuto­r­i­al we’ll have a look at javascript gen­er­a­tors and how they can be used for ani­mat­ing the draw­ing phase for our gen­er­a­tive sketch­es. We’ll cov­er every­thing from syn­tax to actu­al­ly imple­ment­ing a sim­ple exam­ple using p5’s draw loop.
