Balls of Art
A randomly generated, fully on-chain SVG NFT, with simple, random, and colorful balls of different sizes.

About
Balls of Art is an NFT collection that should serve as a basis to learn SVG-based, fully on-chain NFTs, and as a first step to start creating your own generative art NFTs. It shows in a clear, high-quality, yet simple way: - How to structure an NFT project - How to optimize for gas - How (pseudo) randomness works and how to create it without using oracles - How to draw simple SVGs - How to start playing with SVG animation - How to create a very simple generative art with all of the above. Next steps for someone learning from this: - Create a more complex generative art structure - Take input from the user to create art with input as part of the equation - Learn more complex SVG - Add more animation - Create a front-end and engaging minting page and process - Create more art.
How it's made
This project uses: - Newest Solidity - ERC721 - Gas optimizations - Good-quality code, suitable for learning - (Pseudo) randomization - SVG drawing - SVG animation - Fully on-chain logic, metadata, and storage Simple generative NFT art as an output. Each NFT piece is a process of randomized: - Background color - Each ball's size - Each ball's color - Smiley ball location
