#09 Crazy automaton. Cellular automata with crazy rules.
Starting with game of life I experimented but with the known cells it doesn't looked like art. So I used an approach to connect the active/living cells by little lines. And this resulted in the shown animation.
Crazy enough?

Genuary 2026 - 9: "Crazy automaton."
Modified Game of Life on a random Voronoi tesselation. A cell survives if it has exactly one neighbor, a new one gets spawned from exactly two neighbors. R code in alt text.

January 6: Lights on/off. Make something that changes when you switch on or off the “digital” lights.
I mean, this is the obvious thing, right? It's certainly the first idea that came to my mind. Source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/acayFTbDo. #genuary #genuary2026

#genuary Day 5: Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font.
Genuary 2026 Day 4: "Lowres. An image or graphic with low resolution, where details are simplified or pixelated."
I had fun with this one!

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.
January 2: Twelve principles of animation
The inevitable return to swirly squares. Black squares swap places using anticipation and follow-through (implemented via standard easing methods). I had planned to incorporate squash and stretch but ran out of time; maybe I'll come back to that later. Source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/-PW2wFk_E. #genuary #genuary2026
Genuary 2026 Day 2: Twelve principles of animation.
For this one, I'm taking inspiration from the example of how horses run, with body carrying through. But I'm going to try some version of it with lizards.

Genuary 2026 Day 3: "Fibonacci forever..."
For this one, I'm going with abstract flowers and 'petal' numbers, skipping over 0,1,1,2 and starting at 3.
I'm playing and exploring ideas and getting some pretty images as output.
