ekkiNoDerm

Was doodling starfishy shapes the other day so thought I would have a go at doing the same in code. This is my first sketch using Perlin noise which is what gives the 'arms' their form.
Move the mouse to move through the noise, and vary the impact of the noise.

  • Right-click to toggle symmetry on/off.
  • Left-click to pick a new seed for the noise (only seems to work once for some reason - refresh the page if you want a new one to play with).

Mouse towards the top will give a starfish-like form. Mouse towards the bottom will look more like a flower.

Some screenshots below from my desktop version (seems to give more pleasing results - think the noise function might be implemented slightly differently in javascript for the web version).
