"The Chosen"
Suddenly, the shape appears and instantly makes you nauseous. This is not right! You don't want to go anymore. The envious crowd cheers in awe.
"Dragon's Teeth"
He cast the teeth upon the ground and immediately regretted it, horrified not by the sprouting warriors, but because they began planting their own teeth as well.
"Deserter"
Fighting the tattooed was futile, so when the banner fell, he ran into the forest. Soon, he could no longer hear the battle, only his own breath and the weird creaking of the trees
64x64
You examine the rogue AI as its logic unravels on the screen. Your heartbeat quickens slightly. It is measured in hertz, while your enemy's is measured in petahertz

Obviously I've given up on trying to stick to the schedule. This week in particular was much too busy. I'll try to respond to all the prompts in sequence, finishing whenever I finish.
For today, I took a shortcut. I happened to need code to draw large patches of the Ammann-Beenker tiling with matching rules for a paper I was writing. It sort of fits with the theme of "grow a seed" (because of the substitution rules) so I duly submit it here.

Generative "music" for #genuary31 features the Langton's Ant from my "Grow a seed" #GenerativeArt continuously modifying a drum pattern sent as #MIDI notes to the Korg Volca Beats. The wobbly functions from another previous #genuary prompt control the pitch of arpeggiated tones synthesized using the #Processing Sound library which I never used before.
The final day of Genuary is "Generative Audio". Instead of trying to generate an audio clip,
I used an audio clip to generate an image. Many different clips within a recording of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata were passed through an FFT with smoothing and coloring applied.
Finished my second #genuary ! I try to make something real and good for every prompt. Some always succeed far better than others. I learn a lot and am left with many threads to pick up and explore. Have really enjoyed seeing everyone's work this genuary, nice job all! Here's a little generative goodbye song, sung by simplex noise tuned to a minor key.

"Curse"
The Seer knelt by the flowers, withered echoes of life lost. Struggling against the cold wind, just like the Warrior before. The Old Gods do not forgive easily.

I haven't managed to get my head space into GPU. So here's some shading with CPU...
The object (here a sphere) is specified by an array of Locations and normal vectors. The angle between light direction and normal vector tells how bright a point is. Then it gets drawn.
"Screensaver"
You sit, dazed, thinking about what you've done until a screensaver awakens you from your stupor. You still can't believe it. You pressed the key; you did it. All hell has broken loose.
