Hexy is a generative art playground inspired by and based on Grant Custer’s Hex and Martin Kleppe’s (t,i,x,y).

instructions

Hexy has a 50×50 grid where each cell is assigned a numerical value by the provided function in the input box. The function has 5 parameters:

function parameters
itime value (increments with each cycle)
xcell x-coordinate
ycell y-coordinate
cxcursor x-coordinate
cycursor y-coordinate

Internally, it looks like this:

function getValue ({ i, x, y, cx, cy }) {
  const n = // code from the input box is inserted here
  return (Math.abs(n) | 0) % 11
}

A cell’s state is determined by the function output and corresponds to the following:
