Generative scenes

Scenes that never repeat

Each scene is a small set of rules fed by one random generator. Nothing is scripted and nothing loops, so no two runs play the same way.

How it works

  • One seedA single random generator, seeded from the clock when the page opens, drives every choice.
  • Independent timersEach kind of event waits a random gap, so the scene has bursts and lulls instead of a beat.
  • Variation inside eventsSpeed, colour, size and duration come from continuous ranges. No two taxis are quite the same taxi.
  • Slow driftSmooth noise shifts traffic, wind and mood over minutes, on top of the individual events.
