April Design Resource Roundup: Scribblertoo

The Scribbler takes simple vector based inputs and creates a drawing based on a number of simple rules. When a new scribble line is created it chooses a few numbers at random that eventually determines what sort of line it will draw. Because there is randomness built into the program, each scribble is unique and produces one heck of an art piece. We’ve even made one for our Facebook page previously.
