Dude, this is the coolest thing that is on this website. I would love to see see a version of this that I could interface with somewhere other than a web app. Don't get me wrong, I will definitely be playing with seeing what I can get out of it, but possibly if there is a version of this that could be extended to interface with it from command line, it could become even more cool in my opinion.
Either way, great job.

Thank you!
I think the block creation part would work using node.js in command line with barely any changes, though there aren't a lot of input parameters to configure as of now. Just about everything (except for the few options listed in the app) are taken from a random byte array of about 1 kilobyte, and that byte array mutating is what causes changes in the tiles.
A brute force approach could be made really easily (heck, the whole chromosome/mutation concept is ripped straight from genetic algorithms), it's just a matter about defining a good fitness criteria, and then using classical GA methods to evolve tiles towards the goal.

Could you please explain implementation details? Or provide some docs and code examples?
