This repository contains the code written during the "Generative Art in Scala, No AI Required" talk at Scalar 2024. Besides the code written live during the talk, the repo contains some auxiliary code that could not have been written live.
This is a Scala.js application that runs in a browser.
If you follow along to this video, you might want to use the start branch instead of master.
Prerequisites:
- IntelliJ or Metals
- SBT
- Node
Open the code in your favorite IDE.
In one terminal, compile the code in a watch-incremental fashion by running
sbt
project app
~fastOptJS
In another terminal, start a Parcel web server to show you the final JS by running
cd app
npm install
npm run startYou only need to run npm install just once, and you can simply run npm run start in the subsequent runs.
After you started the two terminals, go to http://localhost:1234 to see your code running live.
As you change and save your Scala files, the first terminal will catch the changes, recompile your code (to JS), which the second terminal (Parcel) will pick up and re-serve your web app.
