spent a few liminal nights before the turn of the solar calendar finally doing something about the bitsy tab i've had open in my browser for over a year and learning/bumbling through the making of this tiny dumb game

A Divinatory Walk by Helen Shewolfe Tseng a two-player activation of found objects

i published a tiny new(ish) game, a two-player activation of found objects. this concept has been through a few iterations, the latest adapted from a teaching tool i created for an undergraduate design course this past fall, that i'm now making available to all

Taper #15: Crossroads is here!
all poems are ≀2kb of code with no external dependencies

my neverending combinatorial bestiary + speculative atlas: taper.badquar.to/15/of_mounta...

I've long wanted to make something inspired by the Classic of Mountains and Seas! a favorite excerpt included below

This Taper issue is themed around the idea of midpoints and intersections, and other associations of the number 15. My second piece in the issue (again, under 2Kb!) is a Tarot Card reading in which the Devil card is repeatedly drawn and increasingly corrupted.

Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once.
