Looked at how the "e" and "n" looked like "a" and "u" upside down and so I tried to make an Ambigram of #genuary

How did I do?

In 2021 I was working on some code for a silly glyph editor, I couldn't resurrect the editor (yet) but I could still read some pickled data! I hope I can get back to these studies again. Note: be careful about loading pickled data from untrusted sources, there is a nasty risk of "arbitrary code execution" #genuary #genuary5 #genuary2026

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 public domain images of these initials from Wikimedia Commons. Initially, I wanted to automate scraping of the images from the site, but the search results were too inconsistent (searching for "A" returns images of other letters too), so I ended up manually curating the images. Try your own words on my website:

Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font.

I made these letters using the loop drawing algorithm I created for my Loop Line Logics series of plots. The Processing function code is below.

void hhAdjustaLoop(float x, float y, float loopWidth, float loopHeight, float loopLean, float loopEnd) {
/* draws adjustable loops
* extra curves added to start and end points to smooth out tran

R + ggplot2. First time using grid.locator to interact with ggplot2 and peek for screen recording as gif. Smoothing splines and mapping of diff(y) to linewidth for calligraphy effect. R code in alt text. Enjoy!

Genuary 5: Write Genuary, No Fonts.

I'd been meaning to add generic SVG path support and took the opportunity to do so today. The animation is built from path drawables being animated along paths, I'm happy with how simple the final h9 code wound up being.

Prompt: write "Genuary", avoid using a font.

Nothing like what I had planned (a kind of modular geometric font) - I decided instead to handwrite "Genuary" in Boxy and then play with the resulting SVG path in Python and JavaScript

It's actually cheating for I did use a font, but I pixelated the characters myself from scratch.

that's not uncommon in games. That or all the cute dioramas we can find all over the internet just by googling for it.

That was enough of reason for me to shortlist this one and see what I could get my browser to with some simple SVG shapes. Just as for the first prompt, you can find the 'live', 'endlessly different' version on [genuary.d17e.dev](https://genuary25.d17e.dev)

#Genuary8 prompt: Draw one million of something.

Try out my sketch at: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2504159

I chose to draw one million cubes. I wanted to explore the isometric mode from #Genuary5 a bit more, and used my signature palette with a 3D noise field applied over a cube of 100 x 100 x 100 smaller cubes. You might be wondering why there is so much space around it. Well... 1/2
