Posted on both Metafilter and Waxy, a blog post on creating Space Invader-like aliens, along with a little web applet that creates them randomly!
It’s an interesting problem. One interesting is the pixelization is an intrinsic part of it. The less obvious the pixels are (like, if the invader is too large), the less aesthetically pleasing it tends to be.
Posts will be a bit lighter for a week and a half or so, as I travel to and attend DragonCon again this year. If you’re going too, let me know!
