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 put me on a roll, and I miss it. Everywhere I look I see inspiration for new pieces. So I decided to create a weekly(ish) work and pen-plot a series of iterations.
Here's the first one: “Keeping it together”.
I combined the #genuary26 und #genuary27 prompts: "Symmetry" and "Make something interesting with no randomness or noise or trig".
The basis is a simplified part of a historic floor mosaic from cyprus and I tried out the p5js blendModes a bit and messed the mosaic up on purpose for the last screenshot. #genuary
Unfortunately the last week of #genuary I was knocked out due to migraines and family stuff. I would still like to try some missed prompts in the following weeks for fun and learning purposes.
But I did a little fork of my day 12 sketch to send to a friend on her birthday and wanted to share it here as well because of the important message.
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.

#genuary2025 #genuary #genuary12 #genuary14: only black and white, subdivision. Combining the two prompts. Not in love with this, but can't tweak all day. Variation on the Koch curve.
Yes, I know it's February 1, and the world is on fire.
It's February 1 and you know what that means!
#GENUARY!!
This is my first ever entry. Prompt is "Vertical or horizontal lines only."
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...
#genuary25 One line that may or may not intersect itself

And that's it, for this year's #Genuary: A month of daily Creative Coding challenges. Some of which I drew by hand :)
Genuary 2025 Prompt for Day 31: "Pixel sorting."
I've been playing with various ways to sample and sort colors...and I'm not done yet. But I'll share some interesting buggy results, for now.
#genuary31: Pixel sorting.
Aerial view (NASA source) sorted horizontally then vertically

#genuary 31: pixel sorting. I sorta already did traditional sorting on the 7th so this one is doing DEPTH sorting, thanks to tensorflowjs's depth estimation model! Pixels closest to the camera end up in front. https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2528177
