Why make a generator?

Traditional art forms here in the Philippines are being faded away as society progresses. Through making these kind of generators, we can preserve and still appreciate these traditonal art forms.

How does it work?

Users can input their preferred:

Size (Small, Medium, Large)
Primary Color
Secondary Color
File format (PNG or GIF)

Output examples

Here are some nice outputs made from the generator.

Here are some GIF animations.

Used Python modules

wxPython for the app GUI
PIL for image processing

Last words

This is a project from my Arts class at the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School. Special thanks to my groupmates, Jhoana Aguilar and Gwen Curativo.

I also give thanks to Cisco Ortega, my Comp Prog Coach. His L-painter project and L-textiles problem in Codeforces inspired us to do this project.
