Ask HN: Resources to learn generative art programming?
One of the better ones I've found is Tyler Hobbes [0].
I recently found the "Bridges Archive" online [1]. It's a goldmine of ideas (I won't link to them but they have tilings, space filling algorithms, multi-scale Truchet patterns and many more).
I favor the ideas rather than the implementation as I already know how to program so you may do better with learning something like processing/p5.js [2].
In terms of raw ideas, I've found Jared Tarbell to be a huge inspiration [3] [4].
I'm sure I'll get lashed on here for the mere mention of NFTs but I've found there are consistently awesome generative art being displayed on Twitter for artists showing their work and advertising their NFTs for sale. One resource that I've found to be pretty consistently good is fxhash.xyz [5] [6]. Looking for #fxhash tags on Twitter will probably give you rich results.
I also have my own NFTs whose source code I've released as CC0 if you want to take a look [7] (none are for sale right now) along with a half assed attempt at making a list of resources for generative art [8].
There's plenty of "awesome" generative art lists [9] as well as many examples and other projects on p5.js [2]. And of course there's always Reddit [10] [11].
Oh and "Coding Train" is deceptively deep, packing complex ideas in a kind of "cutesy" veneer but still managing to tackle topics that run the gamut of easy to incredibly difficult [12].
There's really too many resources to list. It depends on what level you're at. I tend to focus on Javascript and the 'ideas' rather than the implementation so much. If you're starting from a point of learning programming, you're probably better off going through a tutorial or two on how to actually program and then try and tackle some "classic" generative art examples (grids, recursive grides, flow fields, etc.).
I occasionally run into people who have all their experiments on GitHub which might be enlightening [13].

I Stockpile Dreams With Tragedies : 1Gen
I mentioned it in my other comment but the code is CC0 so please feel free to use it (even for commercial purposes, no need to give credit). There's also a 'boilerplate' project that just displays some simple shapes but provides a skeleton of a project to spring off from, which can be found here (it's pretty rough but maybe it's good enough to get you started).

Release Radar • March 2024 Edition
If you're into video game dev, then PixiJS is something you need to know about. It's a HTML5 game engine that provides a lightweight 2D library across all devices. This latest update has a new package structure, custom builds, graphics API overhaul, and lots more. You can read about all these changes in the PixiJS Migration Guide. Also big congrats to PixiJS for being part of the open source community for ten years now! 😮.

My thought on different engines
For full web games (yeah, I come from the web, so I try to make my family proud), I will recommend PixiJS. It has great support for TypeScript and works very well with Vite. It's lighter than other game engines, so it's better for web games. But you will need to do a lot of things by yourself.

Rebuilding Isometric World
That approach works well for what I was trying to archive but I am planning on adding more functionality into the website. Hence in this article, let me rebuild the project using Pixi.js and it’s React binding, React Pixi.
