The program no longer crashes and the fix was simpler than I thought.

Instead of comparing rounded doubles (what a silly idea) I did the proper thing, which is abs(a - b) < epsilon. A lot of times 🙂 Takes maybe half second to generate the design. Then I can pan, zoom and rotate to find a screenshot I like.

I'm thinking that the lines that end in lonely places should end with a tiny knot. I may try that next.

Code generated design with 8 shapes arranged around the center. One of the shapes seems to be arriving late to the party. The shapes are made out of many almost-straight thin dark curves, looking like some kind of digital cellular organisms crossed with city plans. In each shape two strokes are highlighted: one with light blue and another with orange.

This iteration has been a big challenge: Generate shapes, get their concave hull, pack those hulls, calculate the transformation matrices mapping the original hulls to the packed ones. Apply those transformation matrices to the original shapes. Finally play with a 2D camera to find the right shot.

And I still have an interesting rounding bug which doesn't fit in this description :)

Code generated design made out of a few non-overlapping shapes, which are made out of hundreds of non-crossing curves curves. The lines obviously follow rules, but the rules are not obvious. There seem to be core lines, and other lines emerging from those. Very few curves are highlighted with two different colors. The color palette was sampled from old maps. This version shows a close up of about 7 or 8 shapes, some of them cropped on the edges of the window.

This version shows 2 or 3 full shapes, others cropped on the edges of the window, and some empty space.

The shape are of different sizes. One larger and others smaller.

The shapes are in two clusters: 7 on the left and a few incomplete ones on the right.
