#genuary Day 14: "Everything fits perfectly"

This was super fun to code. Give me 36 seconds of your time, and afterwards, let me know whether it was worth it! :D

#genuary Day 13: "Self portrait"

This also has a "fuzziness" slider; you can try it here: https://files.blinry.org/fuzz/ (Warning: Pretty slow on my machine.)

#genuary Day 11: "Quine – a program that outputs exactly its own source code"

#genuary Day 10: "Polar coordinates"

❄️🐻‍❄️🌨️

#genuary Day 9: "Crazy automaton"

Made an explorer for "elementary cellular automata"!

By moving the mouse, you can change the Wolfram code (which defines, in bits, a table for how to compute a pixel from the previous line).

This also was the first time I've tried the #fennel language – a Lisp that compiles to Lua! #tic80 has several of these niche little languages built-in! <3

A good week for the snow folk. ❄️

#genuary Day 8: "A City. Create a generative metropolis."

Had a lot of fun designing the "planetize" coordinate transform! :) It's so cool to think in shader logic!

#genuary Day 7: "Boolean algebra"

Fun fact: Good kerning can save a lot of space! 💡

#genuary Day 6: "Lights on/off"

Implemented a little ray casting in #p5js. It's fun how things like brightness falloff "just work" automatically! ^_^

#genuary Day 5: Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font.

#genuary2026 #genuary5 #tic80

#genuary Day 4: "Lowres"

#tic80 is already pretty low resolution, so… let's go lower, I guess!

Had a lot of fun with this one – so many parameters to tweak! :D

#genuary Day 3: "Fibonacci forever"

Found this pattern while playing with the Fibonacchi square tiling.

#genuary Day 2: "Twelve principles of animation"

I played around with the principles of anticipation and exaggeration here.

Time for #genuary! I really love the prompts each year, see https://genuary.art/prompts for the full list.

The first prompt is "One color, one shape" – here's my li'l #tic80 sketch, based on the Pythagorean tiling.

"What ice cream should we order a big tub of?" 🍨

https://bettervoting.com/r4xf8y

This poll uses plurality voting, and was supposed to demonstrate the "vote splitting" problem, where similar options (different chocolate flavors) reduce each other's chances of winning.

At #39c3, @piko and I gave a (German) talk about different voting systems!

I just published our slides. They contain links to many example polls – feel free to try them, even after the event!

Here's the Python source code, if you're curious:

https://codeberg.org/Piko/fedi-matchmaker-bot

We're ready for beta testing!

Turns out that the basic functionality for the Fedi Matchmaker bot didn't take a lot of code to implement.

We're now looking for ~10 beta testers, to gather feedback and prioritize the remaining features!

The bot will match you with another participant every Friday evening. The idea is that you then schedule a call or a chat, and get to know each other a bit!

Send us a DM if you want to be a beta tester! You may drop out any time.

@piko

And in the third mode, every row is about an octave, giving you a wide range of available notes!

What other modes should I add?
