Show HN: Turn your name into a tree in an infinite procedural shanshui landscape Hi HN! I made this after collecting hundreds of "name → tree" submissions at ITP. Live: https://ift.tt/hybaLF1 Source: https://ift.tt/DhTBeC8 Plant a tree: https://ift.tt/UluXBrI Pan and zoom an infinite procedural landscape. Each name is converted to ASCII codes, which grow into a unique tree (breadth-first branching; repeated digits become mathematical roses). Mountains use midpoint displacement + Perlin noise, with SVG radial gradients in the blue/green/gold palette from Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains." Inspired by Lingdong Huang's {Shan, Shui}* ( https://ift.tt/KrfNhmJ ). Every tree is someone's name, signed with an APack stamp ( https://ift.tt/e67QgaM ). Try planting your name, then pan along the ridgeline to find it. "My trees" lets you jump back to ones you planted. Happy to answer questions about the terrain algo, name→tree encoding, or the Riso print we tiled at ITP Winter Show! https://ift.tt/hybaLF1 June 10, 2026 at 08:09PM
