Ming + PHP5 + AI = Pretty

Posted by timothy on from the mind-the-drooling dept.

cyberscribe writes "Project K++ just released its first alpha version today. The project aims to explore computer-generated abstract art using PHP and Ming. The name of the project is an homage to Wassily Kandinsky, father of abstract art. Caution: the Flash movies can be intensive on your graphics card. Other caution: hitting reload to see the next cool computer-generated abstract 'painting' can be highly addictive."

    Does the person who submitted this have something personal against the owners of the site or something? I hope they know where to send the bill after their server has been reduced to a useless pile of molten plastic.

      unless the server has no CPU fan, and its using Athlons.

      Especially if it makes heavy use of PHP and SQL, and the hard drive is encased in phosphourus.

    These guys couldn't have possibly coded that in a question of months. This means they must have stolen it from Minix. I think I'm going to write a book about it. I'm so smart.

    Kandinsky is such old news. When I see an AI art generator that can make a dress out of meat or sell jars of its own excrement for six figures, then I'll be impressed.
