Primitive September 2016

12,346 Go Objective-C 2D Vector Graphics Optimization

Recreate your photos with vector-based geometric primitives.

You provide an image as input. The app tries to find the most optimal shape that can be drawn to maximize the similarity between the target image and the drawn image. It repeats this process, adding one shape at a time. Using this process, the program can recreate a photo with surprisingly few shapes.

This project was originally inspired by the popular and excellent work of Roger Johansson - Genetic Programming: Evolution of Mona Lisa. Since seeing that article when it was quite new, I've tinkered with this problem here and there over the years. But only now am I satisfied with my results.

The core is written in Go and is open source. A native macOS app is also available in the App Store, providing a nice UI on top of the engine as well as some additional features like "drawing mode." To date, this has been my most successful paid app.


Game Frame March 2014

19 Objective-C

Simulates the appearance of the Game Frame while you are busy pixel editing.

I backed the Game Frame Kickstarter project. While waiting for it to ship, I wrote this macOS app that displays pixel art in a simulated view so you can see it as it will appear on the real hardware. It supports both static images and looped animations.


Scale March 2014

40 Objective-C 2D

Beautiful fractals for macOS.

Explore the mathematical beauty of fractals and create stunning fractal art with Scale. Scale is fast and a pleasure to use. It was designed from the ground up to be intuitive and user-friendly.
