论生成算法
On generative algorithms
2016 — 2018，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这是艺术家 Anders Hoff（inconvergent）的生成艺术系列文章合集，用简洁的文字和可视化演示讲解各类生成算法（如粒子系统、差分生长等）如何产生优美的图形。页面既是作品展示，也是对每种算法原理的轻量介绍。
为什么经久不衰：它把生成算法讲得直观易懂又赏心悦目，多年后仍是入门生成艺术最好的起点之一，读完会让人想自己动手写代码试试。

鼓励读者亲自尝试，生成艺术入门并不难
警告：这一系列写得极好的生成艺术文章，可能会让你在那些既能创造又能传达这种美的人面前感到自己渺小而沮丧。换句话说，我强烈建议你自己动手试试生成艺术——它的核心其实没那么难，你也可以做到！

Warning, this series of fantastically written articles on generative art might make you feel very small and sad compared to those who are capable of not only creating but communicating beauty like this. In other words, I highly recommend you try some generative art yourself and see that at its core, it is not that hard and YOU can do it too!
推荐'算法之美'系列三本书作为延伸阅读
很棒的资源。如果你感兴趣，一定要看看《The Algorithmic Beauty of...》系列书：《植物之美》是开山之作，作者创造了 L-system 规则系统来生成植物形态，文字和插图都很精彩，是数学、自然科学、计算、艺术与设计结合的典范；《海贝之美》解释了海贝壳上近乎完美的棋盘纹样等图案如何形成；《海藻、海绵与珊瑚之美》与前两本有些内容重叠，但感兴趣的话也值得一读。

Great resource. If you're into it, make sure to check out the "The Algorithmic Beauty of..." series of books. There are three: - The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants - this is the original one. Fascinating read - one of the authors creates a rule system (L-system, now fairly well known in the procedural generation world) that allows for the generation of plant like organisms. Other approaches are presented, the prose and illustrations are wonderful. This one is a must have - a beautiful example of what can be accomplished when mixing math, natural sciences, computation, art, and design. - The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells - this one is very good too. If you've wondered how sea shells can have almost perfect checkerboard patterns and so on, this is the book for you. Highly recommended. - The Algorithmic Beauty of Seaweeds, Sponges, and Corals. My least favorite of the three - some of the content overlaps from TABO Plants - but that's only because the other 2 are so good. If you have interest in the matter, you probably want to read it as well.
推荐 Nature of Code 作为仿生生成艺术的进阶资源
输出很美，对每个过程的介绍也很轻快！我一直关注 Anders 这几个月发的作品，非常喜欢他的审美。如果想深入受自然系统启发的生成艺术这个兔子洞，推荐 Dan Shiffman 的 natureofcode.com。

Beautiful output and great, light summary of each process! I've been watching the pieces Anders has been posting over the past few months and freaking love his aesthetic. There's been HN threads on it before, but just in case anyone hasn't seen it and wants to dive down the rabbit hole that is biomimetic / natural systems influenced generative work, check out Dan Shiffman's awesome http://natureofcode.com/.
指出该领域的先驱人物
这一切的鼻祖是 William Latham（也可以说是 John Conway，但那是另一个级别了）。
