I write code that makes pretty pictures.

Many fractals exhibit macro-scale order with micro-scale disorder, perfect for #genuary16 "Order and Disorder". The top layer is the most ordered, with entropy increasing as you go down.

My #genuary15 "Invisible Object" animation is an experiment using SVG filters and animation effects.

Today's #genuary prompt seemed perfect for a Truchet tiling image, where the curve perfectly fills the space.

My #genuary13 self portrait is defined entirely by parametric equations! Portrait in the first image, equations in the second. The equations were generated by tracing points from a photograph, then basically using an FFT algorithm to convert the coordinates […]

This is probably an unexpected interpretation of #genuary12, "Boxes Only", but I like how it turned out. Thinking of different uses of the term "box" in mathematical contexts, somehow I recalled the Box-Muller transformation, named after George E. P. Box and […]

Very similar to my interpretation of last year's Genuary 3 "42 Lines of Code" (link below), this code is a "Quine" that outputs itself into a stylized image using SVG curves and gradients.

r = 4 + ⌈θ/4 + 2cos(3.3θ)⌉

For Genuary 9, a crazy automaton, I'm combining a cellular automaton with the concept of "odious numbers" I learned about during #mathober. Each cell is assigned one of 4 states, and if sum of states of 8 surrounding cells is an odious number, increment the […]

This is a (very slight) extension of last year's Genuary20 (Architecture) prompt, which I based on the skyline in the old QBasic Gorillas game. This year, it gets extended to "3D" with layers of buildings, scaled and "misted" toward the back. And stars in […]

For #genuary7, Boolean Algebra, this image simulates a set of stacked logic gates, with gate type and signal state represented by colors.

For #genuary6 "Lights On/Off", I took a fractal image and lightened it for the lights on state, and darkened for the lights off state. Most of my fractals end up with darker backgrounds, so using a light theme was an interesting challenge.

Today's #genuary prompt is to write "Genuary" without using a font. I'm always intrigued by those "Inhabited Initials" found in older books, where the first letter in a paragraph is drawn using fancy illustrations, so I attempted to write the word by pulling […]

I created a release of a standalone palette tool. Included binaries for mac and linux.

Would love to have people try it out.

For #genuary4 - Low Resolution - I made a Julia set fractal with resolution animated starting at 6x6 pixels, increasing to 180x180 and back.

For #genuary3, "Fibonacci Forever", I'm recycling an orbit-trap fractal I shared back on Fibonacci Day (11/23, of course). It uses the typical fractal equation z ↦ zⁿ + z₀, but n increases following the Fibonacci sequence with each iteration.

#genuary2 - Twelve Principles of Animation. I don't have a lot of experience with animations, but I've recently been exploring animating SVG's using the SMIL `` elements. For this prompt, I focused on a single one of the twelve principles of […]

It's Genuary time again! Today's prompt is "One color, one shape". I chose to make a hepta of heptagons made from blue heptagons.

More things found while exploring the Mandelbrot equation. Pick a few points in a small circle and trace their orbits. Yellow dots are the actual calculated points, connected by a purple curve if the point eventually escapes, and green if it does not […]

I initially read this headline as "cats meow more than twice as much AS men", and of course my reaction was "that doesn't sound right, I meow at my cat all the time."
