Cicada principle
« on: April 20, 2012 »
It seems like this would be good for making small demos

Anyone used principles like this before?

It's basically just a form of randomization and synthesis (see patch based synthesis).
Prime numbers have always been used to avoid repetition.

Wow, thanks for the excellent info guys! Can't believe I never heard or thought of this myself. Did quite a bit of thinking on how to avoid tiling patterns back in the day with moderate succes.

Thanks for posting!  :)
