Examples built in C++ using openFrameworks (openframeworks.cc)

Visual expression: generative drawing, weaving and pattern making

Techniques: pattern, walkers, L systems & fractals, conway game of life
Ideas: generative drawing, editing and pattern making. Making state and extending temporal 'context'
Demo: random walker, active drawing, Markov Chains built in c++ openFrameworks (openframeworks.cc)
Examples: Annie Albers, Vera Molnar, Aaron, Jared Tarbell, Zach Lieberman
