Top 4 Most Popular Simulated Annealing Softwares | Apr 2024

1. Primitive for macOS

Based on the author's open-source Primitive project, Primitive for macOS adds a super intuitive interface to make it dead easy to process images, recreating them with primitive shapes like triangles, rectangles and bezier curves....... TpSort Score | 5,180,000

2. Shapeme

Inspired by Roger Alsing's great idea, Shapeme uses SDL to evolve images with simulated annealing.HOW IT WORKSIt takes a reference image (a PNG file).It starts with a set of random triangles and/or circles.It evolves this triangles via random mutations using some broken simulated annealing in order to evolve......

3. Altered Qualia

Altered Qualia Evolve takes an input image and reproduces it using shapes of various colors and transparencies. It uses a simulated annealing-like optimization algorithm based on the great work of Roger Alsing....... TpSort Score | 2,520,000

4. PrimitivePic

PrimitivePic is a Go (Programming Language) command-line app based on Roger Alsing's great work, that reproduces images using geometric primitives such as ovals, triangles and rectangles.Features- Hill Climbing or Simulated Annealing for optimization (hill climbing multiple random shapes is nearly as good as annealing and faster)- Scanline rasterization......
