well, it seems produces quite interesting patterns, here what i get after a few tries :



but to be honest i would prefer to see that :)



more seriously, i think one thing missing is a time input variable inside programs that would sometimes animate them.

Food for though => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_programming
(warning : there's many opportunities to do this wrong...)

For automatically measure the interest of a picture, I suggest FFT om 16x16 blocks. If the variance of the FFT coeffs of the blocks is low, with most energy in high-frequencies, your pics is probably just noise.

so, what you've made is an uncontrollable texture generator

That is a good idea... I will try that.

In theory it should be possible to get animations with the current program as well, e.g. if a program adds 3 to the value of a color in each iteration (since 256 % 3 != 0). I haven't tried that yet, though.

Your screenshot looks good! I'm happy the program produces such beautiful images. (Yes, the second picture would be even greater if it could be achieved. Maybe it can.)

I've had some ideas for new operators:
'm': minimum: if a > b, return b, else a
'M': maximum: if a > b, return a, else b
'<': if a > b, return b, else 0
'>': if a > b, return a, else 0
'?': if: if a == 0, return a, else b
':': else: if a == 0, return b, else a

I will implement them when I have time and am in the right mood.

run a facial recognition algo on randomly generated pics, so you can generate excellent obscure avatars!!!

..PROFIT!

Could this stuff be combined with IBNIZ, perhaps?

ilmarque: I obtained some similar pictures, see the gallery:

I've uploaded the new version of the program from today with all the enhancements I announced some postings ago. Get it from:
