This reminds me of the beautiful "substrate" screen saver: http://www.complexification.net/gallery/machines/substrate/
I just got it -- thanks for sharing this! Could watch it for hours... If anyone else wants to download the screensaver, you can get it for linux/osx/ios/android: https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ . Most in the collection aren't great (unless you're in an early-2000s aesthetic mood), but I just installed the substrate one :)

Ach! this reminds me of an artist who worked mostly with Processing ( https://processing.org ) and either did this or something very like it (and a bunch of other stuff.)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Uh are you sure you're not thinking of Jared Tarbell, who made this very piece in Processing?
Being able to see the random seed used in the console and use it in the hash is a nice touch. I found a few large ones and one with a single path between two points (1592751582695)
Well spotted! I enjoy the large ones (eg. https://random-roads--edwardcunningh2.repl.co/#1589058113269 ) where I imagine the gaps left in the middle to be parks.
I feel I'm missing something when people ask what algorithm this is using. I'm imagining it as a bunch of Math.random and If statements. In fact, I don't think I've ever googled for a specific algorithm or implemented one. Am I doing programming wrong?
Reminds me of the Wave Function Collapse algorithm, although doesn't look to be that. https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse What algorithm is this using? Got a GitHub link?
