The Ends of the Earth
Every seed renders one deterministic composition — the same seed always produces the same piece. Built for CSCI198 at Harvey Mudd.
Drag the globe sideways to choose your angle, then download.
How it works
- The seed drives everything. Your text is hashed into a seeded random number generator, so the piece is deterministic — the same seed always renders the same artwork.
- Launch sites are chosen at random. The generator picks between 0 and 10 points on the globe, weighted so 5 is far likelier than 0 or 10.
- Each site fires an arc. A curve is traced from the launch point to its target, with a Mark VI model at the head.
- Rarity is computed, not assigned. The stamped probability is the actual likelihood of that combination of choices — lower means rarer.
