fart: fitzgen's art

My personal tooling and framework for SVG-based generative art. Inspired by Benjamin Kovach's write up on infrastructure and tooling for generative art.

Install

cargo install fart

Quick Start

Generate a new fart project:

$ fart new my-cool-project

Run fart watch to automatically build your project and generate an SVG on each change.

$ cd my-cool-project/
$ fart watch

Hack on your project! Keep refreshing my-cool-project/images/latest.svg in your browser or preferred SVG viewer to see what your results look like.

CLI

For a full listing of CLI commands and flags, run fart help [subcommand].

fart new $name

Create a new fart project.

fart watch [project]

Watch a fart project, automatically build and run it on each change. Saves and commits time-stamped SVGs for you, so you can see the evolution of your project.

Library

Contains utilities for generating SVGs and working with numbers and RNGs. Mostly just re-exports of other crates!
