#genuary9 — Public Fediverse posts

For #genuary9 and #genuary29 I used #Strudel to create a musical interpretation. (So turn the sound on for this one). Context: https://genuary.art/ is an idea each day in January for making art using code. (Yes it's taken me quite a while to complete these compilation videos!) #genuary

Two Byl's loops replicate to form growing colonies that compete for the same space.

The cellular automata rules might be considered "crazy" when contrasted against the more well known Conway's Game of Life

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 state. Otherwise go back to 0.

#genuary Day 9: "Crazy automaton"

Made an explorer for "elementary cellular automata"!

By moving the mouse, you can change the Wolfram code (which defines, in bits, a table for how to compute a pixel from the previous line).

This also was the first time I've tried the #fennel language – a Lisp that compiles to Lua! #tic80 has several of these niche little languages built-in! <3

Not that crazy. Rule30 over luminance, with some oddball adjustments to hue and saturation based on the luminance bit. Orientation of triangles as exercise for the viewer.

Genuary 2026 Day 9: "Crazy Automaton"

Cellular Automaton can be pretty fun to play with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton

Instead of a crazy 'rule', I decided to do something a little crazy in the image: I sampled and inverted colors in pixels according to rule 30.

Genuary day 9: Crazy Automatons

The automatons have three params, mood, wit and charm, which show up in some facial features and in the color channels r, g, b.Each of the params is triggered / untriggered following the game-of-life pattern S1357/B1357 ("Replicate").
Even if the animation might look a bit that way, the automata's behaviour is no loop.

#Genuary9 prompt: Crazy Automaton

The Automata I am crazy about atm are 1d ones that can delete or multiply cells.

Implemented in crochet:
Depending on the color of the next stitch and its neighbors, either skip the stitch or make one or two stitches of certain color.

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.

#Genuary9 prompt: The textile design patterns of public transport seating.
https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2505561

I was extremely tired yesterday, so I just took a little time to adapt the #Genuary1 sketch to use color and be a bit more regular. I came across issues with the scheme that made it not work how I had wanted, but I didn't feel like fixing them or redoing things. I suppose the quirks might make it a more interesting piece.
