The OpenAI chat bot is incredible. It's helped me save so much time in technical problems that it almost makes up for all the time I spend playing around with it!

Responsibly consuming entropy lies at the core of all generative art/NFTs and identicons. Take an address or large integer, take a few bits of entropy off the front, turn it into a value - and repeat, building a final product.
Once you're rolling here, you can start throwing features, asbtractly defined, at the canvas: a nose, eyes, hairline... And each new feature consumes bits of entropy.
Once you responsibly consume the full source of entropy, you're done: the image fully represents the source.
If this stuff sounds interesting, you might dig a couple of projects I worked on before:
Phaces, identicon-faces for ETH addresses: package.elm-lang.org/package…
Nyms, an NFT set: team-toast.github.io/nym/
There's something subtly sexy about an in-game "withdraw" button that impacts your balance instantly, without any kind of "confirm" modal.

* Funnel gold out of the game and into your xDai wallet, or vise versa.

* Build units for gold, including workers for $0.50 and Turrets for $6.
* Destroy enemy units to pick up their dropped gold investment.
