Elliptica is a program for making 2d visual arts using electrostatics (the Laplace equation). You place objects on a canvas, impose voltage boundary conditions on them, solve a partial differential equation, and then visualize the resulting vector fields using a technique known as Line Integral Convolution (LIC).
This was my first attempt at a larger project 100% coded by LLMs and if you look at the code it shows.
I've moved on to doing a complete low level rewrite in Metal, since the framework choices made here (DearPyGui + PyTorch) are fundamentally incompatible with real time interactivity (given the algorithms we're working with here). I will not be adding any more features in the prototype, although I'm open to fix reported bugs.
pip install -r requirements.txt
