Islamic Art Drawing Tools

I really like parametric tools like this, where the history and rules of constructing something is interactively adjustable.

This particular one was developed as a side effect of Engare, a game by Mahdi Bahrami about motion and geometry.

The history of Islamic art has a lot of fascinating context I won’t get in to here, but its use of geometric patterns and rules overlaps with my interest in procedural art. I’m glad that Mahdi has found a way to bring some of that to the interactive world.
