LiveCraft - A box of sweets
This system creates a new design by means of a circuit in which you collect what you like (=imaginary) from the samples (=real) proposed by the program.
The goal was to evolve the design, but before anything practical, I wanted people to enjoy the excitement of looking into a box of sweets like a child.
The function of the box is important at this point. The aura of individuality is supported by each other by competing with other individualities. That's why it disappears when you take it out of the box.
LiveCraft LOGO is a game of sensitivity.
" LiveCraft LOGO is a kind of game to pick logo designs. It's very easy to play. Among various designs that will appear in the field, pick anything you like.
That's it. Designs that will appear in the field depend on which ones you pick. This program is based on the genetic mechanism of life.
The variety of animals and plants, breeding... In short, this is a game of evolution played by your choices.
In this game, there are no winners, no losers, no scores, and no time limits. The object is to find and get designs you like. Please enjoy the program as you like."
Roam the garden
"The field in this program is like a vast garden.
Enjoy roaming there as you like. Roaming the garden with colorful designs is the essence of this game.
What kind of scenery do you like? As you walk through the garden, the scenery will change as you like.
You'll surely find your own place. There are as many designs in this garden as fingerprint.
It is about 10 to the 200th power. For the record, the total number of atoms in the universe is about 10 to the 80th power.
This garden can be compared to a language. When we think of the countless number of various roses we can imagine from the word 'rose,'
it can be really huge. But when we think of 'rose' as one of the countless number of words in the universe, it can be miniscule."
