Pixel Art from Jev

A classifier produces small pixel-art images through repeated color choices.

How it uses Jev

The app sends a prompt and palette in state, with 256 typed Choice questions, one per location in a 16×16 grid. Each answer selects a palette color; the app assembles the returned choices into the image and can ask another round using each pixel’s previous color and 3×3 neighborhood.

INSTRUCTION

Given this position in the 16×16 image, which palette color should this pixel be?

STATE

Prompt for a centered 16×16 pixel-art icon, with the palette and composition rules; each question adds its pixel coordinates and distance from the canvas center.

App workflow

  1. Build image state

    Package the prompt, canvas dimensions, palette, and composition instructions.

  2. Ask per-pixel questions

    Create one Choice question for each of 256 positions, each with the palette as criteria.

  3. Assemble the image

    Map each returned choice to its row and column and render the grid.

  4. Refine locally

    For each pixel, send its prior color and 3×3 neighborhood for an optional coherence pass.

Why it is interesting

It decomposes image creation into independent, position-aware color choices, then improves coherence with a second pass that gives each pixel only local context.
