[sepandhaghighi]

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

Samila is a user-friendly and easy-to-use generative art generator library written in Python, Samila lets you create arts based on many thousand points. The position of every single point is calculated by a formula, which has random parameters. Because of the random numbers, every image looks different. Samila is integrated with NFT.Storage and has this option to upload/backup generated arts(possible NFTs) directly to IPFS.
