What is this thing called Generative Art?
summary
Claim: you can go from zero art training to a working generative piece using Rust + a small creative framework. The demo builds a flow field of moving points, stores position/size/color per point, updates them each frame and drives motion with Perlin-style noise (64-sample noise, density ~20). Code compiles with Cargo and draw loop renders frames, colors use RGB+alpha, trails and background clearing are handled, and the example runs and visibly produces the intended visuals.
