Time for #genuary! I really love the prompts each year, see https://genuary.art/prompts for the full list.The first prompt is "One color, one shape" – here's my li'l #tic80 sketch, based on the Pythagorean tiling.#genuary2026 #genuary1

#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#genuary2026 #genuary4

#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#genuary2026 #genuary9

#genuary Day 17: "Wallpaper group"These are a family of symmetry groups, and I'd love to learn all about them!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_groupI tried to implement the p3 group, but something glitched out. However, these imperfections are adding a really nice quality to the result, so I decided to just leave it like that. :)#genuary2026 #genuary17 #tic80

#genuary Day 18: "Unexpected path. Draw a route that changes direction based on one very simple rule."Here's a particle that's attracted by other particles, following Coulomb's law.Based on the trouble I had implementing this I'd say that this is maybe not a *very* simple rule. :P#genuary2026 #genuary18 #p5js

@blinry Thanks for sharing, nice! What's the plotter? Does it cut? What *would be a good* plotter nowadays? (I'm traumatized by Cricut.)

And here's a video of the finished drawing, showing some details.The less tangled parts of the curve look a lot like clouds to me – that was totally a happy accident that I decided to keep! :D #genuary

@autkin That's @bleeptrack's plotter, it's an Axidraw V3, I think. I don't think it would be very useful for cutting. But maybe @bleeptrack has insights into modern recommendations?

@blinry @autkin axidraws are always nice! But there's also a wide range of Chinese knockoffs or DIY options :)

@conchoid @blinry @autkin yes and no. It's more or less a rebranding since the company was sold to bantam tools
