#ReleaseMonday — New version (v0.27.0) of https://thi.ng/genart-api, a platform-independent extensible API for browser-based computational/algorithmic/generative art projects:

This version features an overhaul of the platform provided PRNG (pseudo-random number generator) handling and makes it easier to create multiple PRNGs for artworks which require/desire them...

Related section in the README:
https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/blob/main/README.md#determinism--prng-provision

Also, just as a reminder, the project has:

- no external dependencies
- adapters for 3 art platforms (EditArt, fxhash, Layer)
- 6 example projects
- testing/dev sandbox with two parameter editors
- WebAssembly bindings & demo (currently for #Zig only)

Happy coding! :)
