blinry#genuary Day 4: "Lowres"
#tic80 is already pretty low resolution, so… let's go lower, I guess!
Had a lot of fun with this one – so many parameters to tweak! :D

blinry#genuary Day 5: Write “Genuary”. Avoid using a font.

blinry#genuary Day 6: "Lights on/off"
Implemented a little ray casting in #p5js. It's fun how things like brightness falloff "just work" automatically! ^_^

blinry#genuary Day 7: "Boolean algebra"
Fun fact: Good kerning can save a lot of space! 💡

blinry#genuary Day 8: "A City. Create a generative metropolis."
Had a lot of fun designing the "planetize" coordinate transform! :) It's so cool to think in shader logic!

blinry#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

This also has a "fuzziness" slider; you can try it here: https://files.blinry.org/fuzz/ (Warning: Pretty slow on my machine.)

blinry#genuary Day 14: "Everything fits perfectly"
This was super fun to code. Give me 36 seconds of your time, and afterwards, let me know whether it was worth it! :D
