Evolve your own artwork

Harness the creative power of evolution here

OK - you can't make a living brontosaurus, a baboon or even a bacillus here. But you can create some jolly nice artworks, using these step-by-step tools that borrow some of the tricks of evolution in nature. And if you'd like to share your finished masterpiece with the world, you can save it, download it or add it to the MonkeyType Gallery.

(1) Kinetic Darwin
Evolve a tree-like poem from On the Origin of Species.

(2) Spots and stripes
Evolve the perfect camouflage for one of our cartoon animals.

(4) Shape shifter
Randomly evolve a bunch of simple squares until they resemble your own mugshot.

(3) Bells
Evolve the rules for your own ethereal never-ending bell piece.

 

PLEASE NOTE - These are incomplete demos, with very little attention to the user-interface, optimisation and so on, as this is still very much work in progress. We're showing them here, in their incomplete state, simply to give anyone evaluating this site an approximate feel of the kind of work we're intending to make.
