generative-art-in-go VS go-gst

Based off new code I'm writing, derived from https://github.com/preslavrachev/generative-art-in-go

The code should eventually make it to my GitHub repo.

I will. It would be a shame if it’s not there already. I wrote an entire book using gg alone, so I thought it must something that everyone was aware of it.

Let me start. My name is Preslav and I am a software developer / entrepreneur who has been passionate about generative art since 2011. I first started working with Processing, but discovering Go as part of my work was the thing that rekindled my passion. So much that I wrote a book about it at the start of the year; https://preslav.me/generative-art-in-golang/

A sketch painted by a genetic algorithm written in Go. The learning will make it into a future chapter of my book, Generative Art in Go: https://preslav.me/generative-art-in-golang/

I am working on new bonus chapters for my "Generative Art in Go" book and this part will most likely make it in a future update. Another likely candidate are genetic drawing algorithms (I promise to do a separate teaser on those :))

I’ve recently twittern and self-published a book that I put together entirely in Obsidian: https://preslav.me/generative-art-in-golang/

I don't know how low level you want to go, but assuming you don't want to re-implement video codecs then GStreamer is probably a good place to start, it allows you to create modular video pipelines and it has Go bindings (although I've not personally used them).

For the latter I have gstreamer bindings here https://github.com/tinyzimmer/go-gst , but you could potentially also implement yourself with other libraries tuned to the purpose.

I noticed you have some gstreamer examples which is awesome! In case you are interested, I maintain bindings also (and the app libraries are included) if you wanted to remove some of that internal boilerplate :).

If CGO isn't off the table, gstreamer can do some interesting stuff with the app library. I have bindings here. This example plays with "dynamically" producing image frames.
