Hello,

Hello,

   I added a new chapter titled:

Inside the Punk Art Machinery - How To Generate 10 000 Punks (and
Punkettes), Algorithmically - Paint by Numbers [1]

   It reads:

    Let's code the artist known as generate_punk - a method that
returns a (ready-to-save) punk image from the attribute parts coded as
numbers starting at 1. If the code is 0 then the (optional) part gets
skipped:

    codes = [2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 0, 10, 1]
    punk = generate_punk( codes )
   punk.save( './punk-0000.png' )

  And here's the magic paint by number art machinery...

   Cheers. Prost.

Hello,

it seems that an extra '%5B1b' was appended on the url?

   Thanks for the errata. Sorry - I mostly use an online email program
(and the no text formatting is always checked) but somehow some links
still get messed up - not sure what I can do. Cheers. Prost.

   PS: You can find all chapters of the book @

    and the ruby gem (sources) @
