What is an artnip?

An artnip is a small piece of code that takes a few numbers and draws something. Rain paints streaks. Circles stack and overlap. Put a few together and you get a painting.

Random but controlled

Every painting picks random artnips and random parameters. The randomness is seeded — the same seed always produces the same painting.

A code is the painting

Every painting compresses to a short code string. Paste that code anywhere and the painting regenerates exactly, with no image file needed.

Permanent by default

Every painting you generate is saved and gets a permanent URL. The gallery grows with every click. Nothing disappears.

The gallery

Everything ever generated lives here. Each painting is rerendered from its code on every visit — no image files stored anywhere.
