The galleries are currently on hold as I am currently focusing on the Image(s) of the Day instead.
The galleries are in reverse order from the time that I made them.
Current Phase
The images in the current phase add an additional line glow layer and feature smooth, natural lines that follow a slight gravitational pull from the dots and other lines.
Read about this update here: The Natural Line Update
I also (for now) mostly stopped editing the images either by changing the color of the lines within my app or adding basic effects outside of it.
The 90s Theme Set also has new images generated with the updated settings.
Phase 4
I edited the colors of the lines within my program for all images in these galleries. They all use some variant of the 24 color theme designed for contrast. I also became much more selective in deciding which images to include in the galleries.
The next 3 galleries can be viewed on a single page: The 90s.
There is an additional gallery that includes updated images from these galleries plus one new level/image:
111×99 – note this set is an experiment with removing phantom dots, and I determined it isn’t worth the 3x faster level generation.
Transition
This is when I started editing the color of lines for many of the images (nearly half in this set). The last 5 images also feature the new color palette. To be completely honest – I like the new colors so much better that I have a hard time looking at anything generated with the old colors.
Phase 3B
Admittedly there isn’t a huge distinction between phase 3 and 3B, though I made a few adjustments to the settings that I think make these a small step above the previous galleries.

Phase 3
This is when I started to generate many different images for each level – usually until I found one that I liked. I also stopped including images for every single level in the gallery – roughly half of the levels the program selected made it in.
Phase Two
For these galleries I generated a few images of each level with different settings and picked my favorite image for each level.
For the last two sets, I also started randomizing line colors for each image.
The Early Galleries
In the beginning, my program generated 30,000 levels, selected 30 of them via similarity filtering, and generated 1 image for each level which I posted to the gallery. I did virtually nothing.
