infinite cycles of death & rebirth

This one was really short since h9 already had a polar coordinate reference system built in. 7 variables and a 2-line draw loop! Code here:

hexagonal cellular automata with a circular food chain

definitely more fun to watch the interactive than the gif:

Genuary 8: generative metropolis

we found a better way to live and now only come here to see the sky at night

They call them lightning bugs because you can only see their true form in a flash

Genuary 5: Write Genuary, No Fonts.

I'd been meaning to add generic SVG path support and took the opportunity to do so today. The animation is built from path drawables being animated along paths, I'm happy with how simple the final h9 code wound up being.

#genuary2026 #genuary #genuary4 I'm using these prompts to iterate on h9, which is a mostly-SVG-based
geometric drawing tool, so this one posed an interesting challenge.

I decided I'd take the opportunity to try out my hardly-used Canvas backend and adapted a vector sketch to this pixelated look

Third prompt, fibonacci -- tried to use it for every decision in this quick animation: color, rotation, length, arcDegrees & speed

Today's prompt was the 12 principles of animation. Focusing on slow-in/slow-out and bounce/stretch, I added some basic keyframe code to the variable system to get a nice bounce. The ellipse code was fortunately already done

I'm using Genuary to kick the tires/build features on an experimental drawing library I've been working on.

Today's prompt: One color, one shape. (hexagons of course!)
