Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just hold down your a key if you're on OS X. A menu will appear and you can either click on the å or press 7.

I think you mean opt-a

That works too, just not a scalable solution for all diacritic characters.

Thank you all for the comments - I made few improvements: * Randomize is not on by default * Added more options for adjusting jaw/chin shape * Better ranges for some variables

It's an interesting concept. Seems to have some issues in firefox with changing numbers. It looks like many of the numbers go to a random number after changing rather than the one you set it to.

This site hacks the back button. If the author is here, please fix it.

I'm here, but I don't know what you mean. Could you elaborate?

This is a generative art tool I've made for plotter drawings. The UI is not the most intuitive and variables has been named badly - sorry for that. You may want to switch "randomize" off, so all variables are in use. Try out frepeatx and frepeaty, while randomization is on.

I'm curious, why not build the UI to be more intuitive to begin with? Is it really easier to name things y2, y3, etc. than even a simple descriptor?

Genuinely curious, I know it sounds like I'm demeaning. I really am not trying to!
