Lijnenspel (English: Line Play) is a generative experiment where I use ray-tracing techniques to fill a canvas with lines that carefully avoid intersecting with one another

Generated outcomes of the system. Selected renders and editions produced by the algorithm.
Notes from the making. Experiments, dead ends, discoveries and small breakthroughs that shaped the work.
Kicking things off with setting up my own version of a ray casting algorithm. I've also started drawing lines but I draw guides as well to see if I'm implementing it correctly and to actually see what the algorithm is doing.
Revisited this project after becoming a father for the first time. In this iteration I'm trying to draw multiple lines without them touching, you see that it isn't working correctly: but hey, some renders look interesting enough ;)
I’ve refined the non-intersecting behavior and added more styling. The dots are actually the starting points of new lines when no next point can be found to continue a segment. By adjusting an ‘angle’ parameter, you can achieve a wide range of results—some that feel organic and others that appear more structured.
Trying to fix non-overlapping lines by applying a 'hitbox' around earlier drawn segments/lines. Below you can see a debug view and a two interesting renders.
It's finally there! Non-overlapping lines filling a canvas. Also trying things out in black and white.
The main system is in place. Right now focusing on 'features' of this project.
