Nuclear Fusion (NF) is an experimental library for generative art using Python and C++.
NF depends on SFML for drawing and pybind11 to create Python bindings. See dependencies
on how to install it.
To build using cmake run
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
This will create shared libraries with the python bindings and a
./main example program
On Linux installing the dependencies is quite easy.
For SFML run
sudo apt install libsfml-dev
For pybind11 run
sudo pip install pybind11
NF offers Python bindings through pybind11. Python is the best way to program using NF, as it allows for quick and easy prototyping and has many libraries such as OpenCV and skimage to aid in generative art.
The bindings are inside the build folder on the nuclear_fusion shared library(.so).
Note that the bindings depend on the other shared libraries inside the folder.
Here is an example program in Python:
import nuclear_fusion as nf
# window will be available until the program quits
window = nf.Window()
# create a brush for drawing
brush = nf.Brush("../brushes/3.png", 50, 50)
# set brush color to red
# it's best to set the color to low opacity
brush.set_color(255, 0, 0, 8)
# draw on the window
brush.draw_line(window, 100, 250, 1, 1)
brush.draw_line(window, 300, 350, 100, 250)
brush.draw_circle(window, 400, 400, 100)
brush.draw_ellipse(window, 400, 300, 100, 200)And the output:
