Recursive Art
For this assignment you will compete in a Recursive Art Contest. We will have an Instructor's and Student's Choice winner in a variety of categories (such as most creative, most technically complex, most artistic, and most realistic). The Instructor's Choice will be chosen by the course staff, while the Student's Choice will be chosen by all of you in class. Winners will receive extra credit.
You may work in teams of two (and must then split any winnings). Your art work must be titled and your README must include a description of the algorithm used to create it. Judging will be based on
- Originality
- Aesthetic appeal
- Simplicity of the programs (the simpler the better, all things being equal)
Here are some old example entries.
