Nice.
Ironically, this is much like saving the planet by creating invaders… the hacker way, without using brute force AI.

I’m surprised and impressed that it built a vector that it rasterized.
I wonder how well you can do by having a pseudo-random kernel walk and then mirroring it.

If you refresh the page the invader that gets generated as you read changes.

Interesting, it takes a lot of imagination to do it

Nice, just the other day I coded up some quick 2d shooter demo and realized I have no idea how to draw interesting sprites for it. What you're doing here with drawing the generated vector onto different sizes of grid is brilliant. A sort of structured pulsation. Same simple technique can be used for both "breathing" animation of a critter and for animating it into bigger, badder forms. Bravo.
At this point (actually before even writing the comment) If your blog had a RSS feed I'd have subscribed to it... but (at least according to my RSS plugin) it doesn't, so I fear I will miss out on your next inspiring writeups. Consider adding one, if you feel like it :-)
