Primitive Overview

Primitive is a Go (Programming Language) command-line app based on Roger Alsing's great work, that reproduces images using geometric primitives such as ovals, triangles and rectangles.

Features

- Hill Climbing or Simulated Annealing for optimization (hill climbing multiple random shapes is nearly as good as annealing and faster)
- Scanline rasterization of shapes in pure Go (preferable for implementing the features below)
- Optimal color computation based on affected pixels for each shape (color is directly computed, not optimized for)
- Partial image difference for faster scoring (only pixels that change need be considered)
- Anti-aliased output rendering
