Show HN: Pixel Art Generator Using Genetic Algorithm

This project is a simple but fun demonstration of a genetic algorithm applied to image generation. It starts with a population of random images and evolves them over generations to resemble a target image. The output is an animated GIF that shows the entire evolution process.

How do you think your example would compare against a simple lowpass + downsampling?

I think for most complicated pixel art, "reimagining" the image is necessary to keep it visually appealing and discernible at low-res, like in the examples here:

Pixel art isn't just bucketing a higher resolution image into a lower resolution. If you're going to use that term, you should probably have at least a basic understanding of the medium.
