Hi! I made this opensource single page application to master javascript language and in general programming. I had really much fun experimenting with capabilities (and limits) of canvas with this project. This is the source code: https://github.com/gioblu/Kipplr

After a lot of testing i found this tool able to render 10.000x10.000px (or more with certain browsers like firefox) abstract pictures in seconds. Images before impossible to be created by hand with photoshop or illustrator now can be rendered with Kipplr!! So can be used to generate huge unique pictures (1mx1m) in seconds! I hope you will like!

Is that all a custom UI, or are you using a UI library? (A quick look at the code didn't show anything obvious other than jquery/zepto.)

I ask because I'm going to want to do something like that soon, and it's really slick.

The 'INFO' button on the app says:

'Kipplr's name is inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and by the concept of "Kipple"'.
