Pixel Joint Forum: NOT PIXEL ART-Tree GRove

Message

Ok let me explain this. I'm trying to teach my computer to paint using my own programming techniques. Each picture is compleatly random the computer does what it chooses based on my programming. I just have been trying to teach it to paint with emotion. This picture was painted in  about 4 seconds.
So tell me:
Do you feel any emotion is this work made by my computer? 
(To the mods: If this needs to be moved feel free to do so but please don't lock it.)

	Heh. Looks pretty awesome, considering that it looks quite futuristic with those bright branches that are partially transparent. Anyway, as I saw other screens of the program, I quite much like those pictures. Maybe the place where the "roots" should be looks pretty cut-off, but else those are nice to look at. Also the leaves (that don't look that much like real ones) give them a somewhat mystic look ^^ Highwaydog

	Right I would be crazy to say that today's computers have emotions. But I'm trying to teach it to draw like it does. Thanks for all the imput guys. This is a rebuttle to the accusation that I don't make complex stuff in Game Maker. I do think it is possible to make computers have simulated emotions and personalities, but they probably won't ever be able to feel emotions. The computer would have to have a soul or be aware of it's existance. Edited by Pixel_Outlaw

	I see that the left is reddened and the right is blueish. The middle tree being white gives me a sense of calm. Backed up by the soft tones and edges. Sort of oriental, tis great. It all seems very complicated... I guess this is more of a diversions topic though.

	Well this was just a demo for now. That is why it has no restart option. I might teach it how to make mountains too and also clouds and ground.

	It looks as if they're reaching for the sky, only to realize the air only moves faster up there. Really, they look like thy could be blown all the way over soon.

	*Originally posted by Pixel_Outlaw* The computer would have to have a soul or be aware of it's existance. I would be quite careful with that... I mean, animals have emotions too, yet they are not aware of their existance (only if that existance is being threatened). Also, I think the general human understanding does not suppose animals to have souls (but who knows?).

	It might mean you don't have enough video memory for game maker to create the surface, so it can't write to/read from it and death ensues.
