This is a simple Minium demo project, where it plays with Google AI experiment 'Quick, Draw!'. Where is a video of Minium drawing a penguin:

- First, it searches for line drawing images in Google images and picks the first one
- It uses that image to get its contours using Contour by José Manuel Pérez
- That service converts an image into SVG with
polylineelements, from which Minium can easily extract all lines and corresponding points - Minium then simplifies lines so that they have less points and therefore are quickier to draw. For that, it uses the javascript library Simplify.js by Vladimir Agafonkin
- Minium can now go back into 'Quick, Draw' and draw points using mouse interactions with offsets based on line points
- Download the latest release of Minium Developer (version 1.5 or later is required)
- Get this project code, for instance:
git clone https://github.com/viltgroup/minium-quickdraw-demo.git- Run Minium Developer and open the project in it
- Open
scripts/quickdraw-test.jsand evaluate it
