threw this one together for #genuary day 30, Abstract Maps
put some particles in a flow field influenced by the open street maps data of a particular area (near the livecode.nyc meetup location) with an alarming number of roads and people and crosswalks

Prompt: Black on black.

(I deliberately skipped Prompt 3, "Exactly 42 lines of code." which seemed both too constricting and not constricting enough.)

#genuary

Layers upon layers upon layers.

I still like the basic idea here, but I couldn't make it work on multiple levels (how ironic).

I spent several hours trying to understand how color compositing works in general and in #qt in particular. I kind of got something fragile sort-of working.

When I gave up on Making It Perfect, I realized that looping a blizzard is unlikely to work.

Welp. This is a #learning #python #pyqtgraph project anyway and that goal was accomplished.

I wrote a retrospective on my #Genuary adventures with generative art with #PyScript and #Three.js.

#genuary28 "Infinite Scroll."

Quiet around here. Feels like everybody is recuperating after a busy month for some reason...

Here are the first ~20,000 digits of e, sorted from low to high within each row. 0 = dark blue and 9 = yellow. This could have worked for #genuary27 "no randomness or noise or trig." In my defense, I am very slow.

Collected my #genuary25 outputs into a post - https://headtilt.me/genuary25/

Looking back, this is the fifth year of #genuary that I've done! (although last year I was pretty busy with work and didn't achieve much).

Lots of fun as always and the community and all the outputs over the month. It's so enjoyable finding folks who use weird and wonderful techniques each year (would love to see some #Turtlestitch some year though!)

It's February 1 and you know what that means!

#GENUARY!!

This is my first ever entry. Prompt is "Vertical or horizontal lines only."

#genuary31 prompt: pixel sorting.

This took a lot of effort since I have zero experience with GLSL, but it's a success in the end. The pixels are sorted, indeed.

I didn't have much time to look at what others were doing during #genuary and then I remembered that I had updated Mastogen (a gallery of posts requesting hashtags on Mastodon). There's some great stuff this year.

Here's the gallery, if you'd like to take a look: https://nclslbrn.gitlab.io/mastogen/?tag=genuary

All 31 days of generative art for #Genuary2025!

Genuary 32: Conclusion

January is over and I just want to thank the organizing persons, the promptmakers and all the contributors for loads of inspiration!

I'm still l learning a lot lot about maths, programming, composition, colors, curves and shapes and of limitations of all kinds...

#genuary31 - Pixel Sorting. Using one of my fractal images as a base, I wrote a pixel sorting algorithm to first convert the RGB color of each pixel to HSV, then sort each column of pixels by hue. #pixelsort #genuary #genuary31

#genuary31 prompt: Pixel sorting.

Facet code written in about 5 minutes, missed about 20 days in the middle but stayed true to my promise to do some of the genuary challenges.

.slices2d(Math.pow(ri(2, 20), 2), () => {
this.sort()
.rotate(choose([0, 90, 180, 360]))
})
})
})
.saveimg(ts(), [_.ramp(rf(), rf(), 1000000), _.ramp(rf(), rf(), 1000000), _.ramp(rf(), rf(), 1000000)])
.once();
