@rlafuente Looking forward! Do you consider sharing the code of the sketches as well?

@rra Definitely! But I've been struggling with an appropriate way to publish the code

- maybe a toot reply, but it's unformatted
- gists or similar are a pretty insular medium, things are scattered and i'd like a way to keep them together
- a dedicated page would be nice but takes some work

Would be happy to hear how you'd do it!

@rlafuente pip package & daily changelog

@rra i'm afraid you've successfully confused me :) is daily changelog a python package?

(in any case i'm leaning towards the simplest way -- tooting the source code as a reply)

@rlafuente distribute the sketches via pip and the package is updated daily as you add sketches. You toot the daily changelog here

@rra my insurance company will contact you shortly regarding the damages to my home, because of the many brain bits now scattered all over the place

@rlafuente @rra 😂

@rlafuente oh and if you want a nice collection afterwards, consider using a relatively unique hashtag as mastodon creates pages like these: https://post.lurk.org/tags/LURKbirthday

@rra What a great tip, thank you!! Now to come up with a decent unique hashtag.

@aqua wow this is elegant code and a beautiful result. Thank you for taking the time to share this :)

@rlafuente I'm glad you think the code is elegant (unless it was sarcasm, lmao). I have a horrible habit of not commenting and especially in this case I used a lot of 1 letter variable names. I remember the proof / theory behind whats being displayed, but how the code actually does it? I couldn't remember for the life of me.

@aqua oh i'm serious! It looks easy enough to adapt even if i don't get some of the vars. I'll ping you if I arrive at anything relevant :)

@rlafuente If you're interested made a variant around the same time I wrote it here:

@rlafuente Also, I feel like I should mention: I made this before I learned about requestAnimationFrame. Using that with a time-based calculation would make it run smoother on devices with weaker CPU’s. Luckily it isn’t very CPU intensive anyway.
