Genuary 2026 recap 🗓️

Genuary 2026, day 31: GLSL day. 🦨

#genuary #genuary2026 #genuary31

Letter A, in a sans-serif font, at the center of the image. The letter is white, but has yellow, green and blue borders, getting bigger and bigger until they fill all the screen. Because of a rendering bug, big peaks appear where the letter has corners, making it more and more spiky as the border gets bigger.

Genuary 2026, day 30: Its not a bug, its a feature. 🐛

White background. Rectangles packed in a square, with black outlines. Inside each one, there is a letter in the flexflex typeface, stretched to fit the whole rectangle. The text spells "GENUARY".

Black background. Horizontal and vertical lines are randomly placed throughout the image, snapped on a 15-by-15 grid. They are white, yellow, red or blue, and have two possible thicknesses. A few lines overlap, but they generally don't intersect. The word "BAUHAUS" is written in the center, spelt vertically, as the letters were placed on the Bauhaus building in Dessau.

#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.
