Anyone have any ideas / suggestions for a path to try that might require the least installation and scripting?
And can anyone tell whether it's deterministic or not as far as whether the same input generates the same output each time?
The final step is to recombine it into a single video, which I haven't done yet because I haven't yet implemented video playback in the program I'm writing. In the meantime I'm just loading each image on the fly and playing it as a sprite animation. This results in low FPS but it gets the gist across.

I'm thinking it'd still look pretty choppy even if it was a 60 FPS video though. I'm not yet sure how I'm going to smooth it out. I can share the FFMPEG command I used / script I made with you if you want, but I'd have to find it first (this was maybe a year ago). I'm sure the script is garbage.
I do not believe the go program that I am using is deterministic. You can run the same command on an image twice and it will produce a different result. It might be possible to make it deterministic, but it's not something I've wanted so I haven't looked into it.
Do you have to just call into the python script process.py primitive? Or do you call into that main.go? It's just this simple IO that I feel like would be the hard part.
Your video looks really good!
If you wanna take 2 min to see if you can find it, that might be super helpful for a VR video project I'm doing!

You’ll just need to figure out the middle bit, shouldn’t be too hard though.
As for results, the challenge might be keeping the illusion of movement from frame to frame.
It’s likely small changes to the input image result in largely different positioning of the shapes. When watched as a movie, this wouldn’t result in a fluid motion.
