@genocode/cli

genie, the command line for GenoCode: check, format, draw, mutate, breed and morph .genie creature files without a browser.

npm install -g @genocode/cli

genie check Flower.genie            # report problems, or OK and what the file holds
genie format --write *.genie        # put files in the standard layout
genie genes Flower.genie            # list a creature's genes
genie variants Cobra.genie          # list its variants and the genes each one sets
genie build Flower.genie            # build a creature and report its shapes (--json for all of them)
genie render Flower.genie out.png   # draw it (--size=N, default 512; --time=T seconds)
genie render --variant=Spotty --music=bass:0.8 --beat=0.25 Flower.genie out.png
                                    # a variant, at a moment of a song
genie mutate Flower.genie New.genie # a variation (--strength=S, --seed=N, --lock=a,b)
genie breed A.genie B.genie C.genie # a child of two creatures, with A's code
                                    # (creatures that say `breed off` are refused)
genie morph --at=0.3 A.genie B.genie M.genie  # the creature 30% of the way from A to B
genie jumps Cobra.genie             # where colours jump as it morphs through its variants
genie translate Cobra.pop Cobra.genie          # a DancerDNA population as GenoCode

genie translate turns a DancerDNA (1999) population file into one GenoCode creature: the first member's program, with its genes named, and every other member as a variant. See the repository for more.

Needs Node.js 22 or later. While the version is 0.x, any minor release may change the commands.
