I set up a few rules for this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Use a 21cm * 21cm canvas.<\/li>
  2. Randomly use a color to fill the background.<\/li>
  3. Using another different color, draw 12 lines at random. The lines must cross the entire canvas.<\/li>
  4. Using another different than previous 2 colors, draw 11 line segments. The ends of each line must be on the first line drawn<\/li>
  5. Use another color to connect the points formed by the intersection of the lines in the previous two steps, so that there are only triangles in the picture, and no intersection with other lines is allowed.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The fifth rule didn’t exist at the first, but after I tried it a few times. I found the picture to be a little spacey. I wanted a richer picture, so I added a fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are the images I generated following those rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
