Algorithmic Pattern is a way to use computer instructions to make shapes, colors, or textures that repeat or change in a planned way. In Generative Design, these patterns can be set up so that small changes in the instructions make big changes in the final look. Designers can use sliders or numbers to control these instructions and see new patterns right away. This helps make many different versions of a design very quickly. Some programs let designers save the steps they use, so they can go back and try new ideas without starting over. This makes it easy to explore many options and find patterns that fit a project's needs.
