Prompt for is 'Code for one hour. At the one hour mark, you’re done.' I started with a vague idea of having a pattern in two color schemes layered by floating blobs. Used the the blobs from wobbly function day. I like the idea that this is an abstract autumn forest with cold clouds overhead, but that narrative is a happy accident. I stayed true to the prompt and stopped at an hour.

Code at :https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2158408

Soft autumn colors in triangular grid with dark lines in a vaguely tree-like pattern. Blobs travel up the canvas, displaying the same pattern but in cooler shades of green and blue

Well, that recursion turned out kind of pretty.

I quite liked how this macro photo I snapped of a small mullberry blossom came out.

Finally got back to using my ! A little of an autumnal scene.

I don't usually like to post anything this WIP and these are only part of the final design I have in mind, but I'm really finding the sort of painterly effects I'm getting fairly charming here.

Dahlia-esque flower leaning into left. Code generated. Different palette

I've been reading Liu Cixin's "The Three Body Problem" so for and I imagined a loading animation for the game "Three body" that appears in the book. It does simulate physics like gravity, acceleration and such, but I make no claim to scientific accuracy.

Code at: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2137921

Animation of three orbs circling each other chaotically, inside amber square. The words "Three Body" appear above the box. "Loading" strobes slowly below

"Between a high solid wall and an egg that break against it, I will always be on the side of the egg. No matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg''. Quote by author Haruki Murakami. For (Generative Typography) and (use a new library, in this case p5.brush).

I think I should make a little series of botanical sketches (in my chosen medium of code, of course) of local native plants. Maybe I'll set them into a pattern later.

Trout lily (Erythronium americanum).

BloomScrolling.

It's scrolling! Still want to work on the background pattern, as the results are uneven at times. Overall pretty pleased with it.

Code/ endless scroll at : https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2225296

Scrolling floral pattern, not unlike a william morris wallpaper. Coded art.

Finished my second ! 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.
Code/endless song: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2162435

Wavy lines squeeze in to the notes, while colors squares in center fade in and out to the notes.

Well, is SDF's and is shaders, which often use SDF's. Seems natural to combine them. Last year,'s Genuary the SDF prompt lead me to spend February and March learning shaders. However... as soon as I learned enough to make something decent, I went right back to Javascript. So this sad blob is a slight reworking of where I left off in my shader journey.

pulsing, jelly-like blob of concentric gradients of muted blue and black

Been sick in bed for the last couple days. Between sniffles and sleeping I started code-doodling. This started as an attempt at splattered paint, but gradually found form. I guess I'm ready for spring already.

Code at : https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2179025

Off-white canvas gradually fills with colorful gradient filled lines coming from top, grassy lines coming from bottom and droopy flower comes spreading out in middle top.

Building upon my experiments with the space colonization algorithm. This time placing defined constraints on the placement of the 'nutrients' the growths are seeking, in order to roughly form shapes and a tiling pattern.

Code/ run at : https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2169799

Branching growth pattern fill in rectangular shapes (minus regularly placed circles.). Then each circle is filled with the same sort of growths.

"A song I sing to myself" is what I call this, because I insist on attempting clever names.
Lots of code for something trying to seem almost random, available here:

I may have attempt to animate this at some point...
