Wow, great job, Surt! I see so many "recognizable" things in the results. Very cool.

But, how do you change the parameters? Manually change the booleans in the URL?

Is an interface with buttons very far off?

Added a quick and dirty GUI. Ugly, no validation and basically untested.

Nice!

Just some things to help:

-Tilesize max cap. It didn't my input value of 465348754367.

-Reset to defaults button. I messed the settings all up and got useless results. Wanted to revert.

-Zoom shouldn't accept 0, everything just disappears.

very very nice. This image has countless great designs in it:



I think the original was good for fine tuning and finding variations on a certain design, but this one just outputs some crazy nice stuff all around.

I see a lot of character/monster design potential in that sheet.

Added load and submit validation, reset, colour pickers (jscolor). Also changed some of the properties a little. Lots of behind the scenes refactoring so probably some bugs.
Colour pickers don't like my layout css in Firefox, so if any CSS guru could suggest an alternative to get the canvas and form to sit next to each other while remaining auto width would be cool.

Hmm...  I'm not getting nearly the results I was with the last version, and my brief tweaking of the settings doesn't seem to have gotten me much closer.  I'm also finding the settings a bit hard to understand apart from trial/error, though that's probably my lack of programmerly background showing.

yeah I agree the image I posted earlier was done with 1 tweak and now I can't seem to replicate it, perhaps set the defaults to how they were before if possible? because I had hit a sweet spot.

Also, 1x zoom by default would be nice if anyone else also feels that's better. Chrome users will love you for it.

Tweaked the defaults to hopefully produce better results.
I won't pander to a browser's shitty design choices. You can set zoom to 1 then bookmark it.

Oh man!! This is is awesome Surt! Thanks for this, I think this produces some really nice results and I really like how varied each sprite is.
