Pixel Art Generator Using Genetic Algorithm

This project is a simple but fun demonstration of a genetic algorithm applied to image generation. It starts with a population of random images and evolves them over generations to resemble a target image. The output is an animated GIF that shows the entire evolution process.

In plain words

Pixel Art Generator Using Genetic Algorithm is a demonstration project that uses genetic algorithms to evolve random pixel art images toward a target image over multiple generations. The tool starts with a population of random images and applies evolutionary principles to gradually refine them, producing an animated GIF that visualizes the entire transformation process. It's designed for those interested in seeing genetic algorithms applied to creative image generation.

Generates an animated GIF using genetic algorithm. - Yutarop/ga-pixel-art

A genetic algorithm implementation that evolves a low-resolution image by attempting to approximate a target image through evolutionary computation. The program generates an animated GIF that visualizes the entire evolution process from random noise to a recognizable approximation using pixel-level mutations and selection. This project uses a genetic algorithm to evolve RGB pixel values for each position in a 100x100 image grid. Each pixel is represented by a chromosome containing binary genes for red, green, and blue color channels. Through selection, crossover, and mutation operations, the algorithm iteratively improves the image quality to match a target image. const IMG_SIZE: usize =…from github.com

  • Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064

    Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

  • Ten years of running every day, visualized▲958

    Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

  • Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others▲935

    Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

  • Use Their ID – Use your local UK MP’s ID for the Online Safety Act▲862

    Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
