I think this is the first time I have ever seen Glitch used for anything.

This seems like an unnecessarily harsh anecdote. I've seen Glitch used for a lot of things! There's a bunch of cool stuff on there.

Why does this use let and var together? Was I (not a modern js expert) wrong to think var is considered obsolete? Is it because OP wanted to use var's scoping rules?

var is not obsolete. You still need it sometimes for scoping reasons.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here is the repository (was shared yesterday in reddit’s r/generative): https://github.com/LingDong-/fishdraw

I took a look. I can't really understand it (unless I spend the whole next week on it... which I will probably do). Could someone with more expertise in the topic explain me how it is done (high level overview)?

0) sepect random parameters for body size/shape, fin size/shape, etc.

1) draw fish outline

2) complete rest of the fish

This is great. Where did the inspiration come from for this project?

Feature request: it'd be nice to have a way to generate a link to a particular fish, such that it can be generated again.

It looks like you can provide a seed based on the readme in the github repo. This would produce the same fish every time.

Love the generated art projects. I just want an art ‘frame’ (display with small computer) that generates new art every so often. Put together a few of the various art ML projects into one product for this.

1. I like it!!! 2. Are these fish real or just real-istic? Not judging, just curious.

Generated AFAICT :)
