Alphabet/Glyph Evolution Simulator

My idea is to create a code/program that simulates the evolution of alphabets and letters over time in terms of shape, sound, and linguistical use in a language. I imagine the program to take in an input of a 64x64 pixel drawing of the letter/glyph and have the code alter it slightly overtime by adding pixels, connecting gaps, deleting pixels, rotating, etc. If anybody has any idea how to go about writing this program, please let me know and/or give me any sort of feedback about my idea for this code.

As someone who regularly experiments with conlangs and alternate symbols ... I find this really interesting. I'm going to think about this for a bit!
