genart genesis

Day 2, "Shape". I've been seeing a lot of "meditative scribble colouring" posts on IG lately and I wanted to try recreating that feel algorithmically.

I also wanted to explore using bezier curves. A little research (aka late night chats with the bot) led me to this algorithm for creating a smooth curve from a series of points. That got me the scribbles. Then they needed to be coloured in.

I used a basic flood fill algorithm to fill in the shapes created by the overlapping curves.
