Power Ranges

Power Ranges is an artistic endeavor born not from a concept, but from the pure spirit of experimentation. While I could attempt to uncover a profound narrative or significance behind this project, the truth of the matter is that Power Ranges is, in essence, just a form of digital doodling with code. A testament to the beauty of unbridled exploration in the realm of art, where discovery and wonder sometimes take precedence over any predetermined purpose.

In this project, I have harnessed the power of height maps and ranges to create an intriguing visual experience. The origin was the implementation of the marching squares algorithm that I had never used before. From there I started to play with height maps, mixing noise and custom shapes. Finally, I wrote a parser for the map in order to generate the isolines that are then drawn using my beloved Superline script.

I hope you’ll like the outputs as much as I did while testing the algorithm. Some of them can be truly cute.

======> COMMANDS (In Live Mode) <======

Press ”s” to save the current output.

Pressing the keys “1”, “2” or “3” the artwork will regenerate at a different scale.

The “size” parameter can also be passed via URL with the values “s”, “m” or “l” to initialize the generator with the desired size.

Hand coded with love. 💚
