That's nuts. Someone has solved the algorithm of fish and this is it. But I thought I recognized his name and workstyle before. This guy is literally a genius. Some other works I've seen before: https://github.com/LingDong-/rrpl - a "radical" new way to describe Chinese characters as a composition of parts http://nonflowers.lingdong.works/ - procedurally generated flowers in style of classic Chinese watercolor paintings https://lingdong.works/ And don't forget more classics on his GitHub profile: https://github.com/LingDong- including "A programming language for ancient Chinese, and procedurally generated Chinese landscape paintings" I want to see a gallery show in Beijing.... This guy's work is so fucking good. It's really cool how he puts all the code on GitHub too. Fuck yeah! :P ;) xx
