Define an algorithmic philosophy first, then implement it as a p5.js sketch with setup() and draw() functions. Use randomSeed() and noiseSeed() for reproducibility, organize tunable values in a params object, and expose them through slider controls in the HTML viewer.

Seeded randomness initializes p5.js random() and noise() with a fixed seed value so the same seed always produces identical output. This enables Art Blocks-style reproducibility where collectors can regenerate exact artworks and explore variations by changing the seed number.

Yes, the output is a single self-contained HTML file with p5.js loaded from CDN and all code inline. It opens directly in any browser without a server, build step, or additional dependencies, and can be shared as a standalone file.

Yes, the viewer template includes a Parameters section with sliders for numeric values and an optional Colors section with color pickers. Parameter controls update the artwork in real time, and a Reset button restores default values.

The artwork changes between runs when randomSeed() and noiseSeed() are not called with a fixed value during initialization. Set params.seed and call both seed functions at the start of setup to guarantee deterministic, reproducible output.
