Any stuff like artbreeder.com for generating or modifying visuals people know and could share? I’ve also found Adobe Capture to be excellent for making quick line art out of photos. Oh! And the Metropolitan Museum of Art is excellent for public domain goodies!
Layout & the Grid was on my old website. The domain collapsed so I made a new version called Grid System 101. It’s missing some key pieces from the original but it’s otherwise very similar. I expanded on the other elements by making them their own articles.
Their RPS paragraph can be completed with :
3+ for RPS is possible: if you declare 1 reference player. Yes it’s simultaneous bipartite RPS, but do the “others” coordinate? that’s a Sad Hill scenario right there. Plus, RPS is less random if various choices are tied to fixed consequences.
What makes this more interesting is the history of it. We were active on a design mailing list at the time. I asked Torben to write up the material for me and I’d pay him for the effort. He decided just to do it and release it for public usage. Yeah, he passed on getting paid for the work just because he thought it’d be a good thing to share. I look back on it and think I should have paid him, anyway, as sharing it with the public is fine by me and I still got the writeup!
so I deleted the comment, but looks like it stays as well… double awkward.
