Rusty_Art 🌈 🎨

Creative coding with Rust! 🦀

In this repository, I will create animations and optical illusions that allow for the generation of various patterns in my spare time. So, this repo is consistently updated and current 😄

Most of my scripts feature a graphical user interface (GUI), enabling real-time adjustments to the animations and opening up the possibility to create thousands of unique patterns.

I hope you enjoy it!

🚀 Usage/Installation:

This section is intended for those who are new to GitHub or Rust and may not be familiar with these tools.

1- Install Rust Programming Language

2- Click on the green "Code" button at the top right of this page. Then, select "Download ZIP" from the dropdown menu. After the ZIP file finishes downloading, extract it to a folder on your computer.

3- Open the terminal (also known as command prompt or cmd) on your computer. You can simply open it in the folder "rusty_art" by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Open in Terminal".

To run the scripts, in the root directory of the project, type the commands in the following style.

```bash
    cargo run --release --bin <filename>
```

That's it! If you encounter any issues while opening/running scripts, feel free to contact me. 😊

Saving Frames 📸

To create high-resolution videos, you can save each frame as a PNG image by holding down the spacebar while the script is running. This will save each frame in a folder called "frames" which will be created automatically in your current directory.

Once you've saved all the frames you want, you can create a video file by copying the images to a folder and running the following command in that folder:

```bash
    ffmpeg -r 60 -f image2 -start_number 10000 -i %d.png -vf "scale=-2:990,format=yuv420p" -vcodec libx264 -crf 10 output.mp4
```

This command will use the images in the "frames" folder to create a video file named "output.mp4" in the same folder. The video will be encoded with the libx264 codec at a constant rate factor of 10 and with a pixel format of yuv420p. The frame rate will be set to 60 frames per second (-r 60).

Note: You need to install ffmpeg to create videos.

Warning ⚠️

I only tested these scripts on my notebook with the following specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 6800h Ram: DDR5 16GB GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 mobile

And I must say that some of the scripts are very computationally intensive. So, if you have a relatively "low-end" computer, you may not be able to run some of the scripts smoothly. I'm sorry about that. 😔 And please don't run the scripts on your computer if you don't have a good cooling system. I don't want to be responsible for any damage to your computer. 😅

Always open if you have any suggestions or cheap tricks to improve the performance of the scripts. 😊

Scripts that are computationally intensive (in my opinion):

• peace2 and peace3
• mandelbrot
• pixelrain
• attractors
• gabor
