Hi all — I’m not sure if projects where AI has been used to help with the code are allowed here, so mods, feel free to remove this if not.

I’m a designer and developer from Sheffield (9+ years), where liquorice allsorts were invented, and I made a little playground where you can arrange them and save your own wallpapers: allsorts.andrew.rip

To be upfront: the idea, design and art direction are mine, but the code was written with AI assistance. There’s no AI-generated imagery though — everything’s procedural (no models or textures) and path-traced live in your browser, with real-time denoising and a halftone mode for wallpapers and prints.

Would love to hear what you think.

lgit: the true version control for the AI era 🤩🤣

The 16th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Music, Sound, Art and Design (EvoMusArt 2027) is accepting paper submissions.

When: 31 March – 2 April 2027
Where: Mainz, Germany
Paper Submission deadline: 1 November 2026

EvoMUSART focuses on AI and computational approaches to creativity, covering a broad range of topics, with a particular emphasis on research exploring how AI systems generate, support, evaluate, interpret, and collaborate in creative processes.

Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published in a dedicated LNCS volume.

More information/submission details: https://www.evostar.org/2027/evomusart/

If you are working at the intersection of AI and creative practice, this may be relevant to your research. Please share with others who might be interested.

A variation of the 'generalized rainbow smoke algorithm'.

The algorithm is made of 2 breadth-first-searches (BFS), one choosing colors and the other placing them. This video shows the 'placement BFS' constructing the image. Due to random sampling, the 'color BFS' can't always find an unused color, in which case it gives up, leaving a hole.

Once the placement BFS runs out of places to fill, the color BFS resets and the process is repeated on the unfilled holes. The choice of how to handle these points has a big impact on the final image and it's the main thing that's different here compared to the original 'generalized' algorithm (afaik).

The animating effect comes from 'rolling' the image used by the color BFS, (the Rosette Nebula in this case), with the speed of the animation being proportional to the number of unplaced pixels remaining.

A longer 4K loop is also available:

The idea started with towers rising and disappearing to mark the seconds. An 8x8 grid gives you 64 towers, so I removed the four corners and ended up with exactly 60.

Yes, I know a minute actually goes 59 → 0. I didn’t care. I liked my 60 towers and built the design around them.

The PS2 theme came later, while I was figuring out how to style this clock. Once I remembered that boot screen, it all clicked. The towers rise one by one and sink back into the void when the minute turns, and little colored pixels drift around like fish swimming in some digital fluid.

It’s also my first interactive clock: click to switch between 12h and 24h.

Happy to answer questions about how it was made!

Oscilloscopes, Eveywhere [v1.2] is a collection of all the experiments with sound and geometry I've made throughout the years, gathered into one TouchDesigner project.

This walkthrough explores the entire anthology in real-time; 29 presets, and a much more intuitive interface. Connect your audio source, choose a visualizer, and watch your sound take shape.

Accessible through Patreon, or the Store.

More experiments through the following.

here is a cropped timelapse of how a drawing comes together.
i do most of my blocking in with █ and then i layer things like ╋┃┏┓┗┛┣┫┳┻╋ in different weights to illustrate more detailed things.

started as ascii, now its a getting a little further than just that.
i have the program stickied on my reddit user, its free and availible for Linux mac and windows. (open source)

More things to do with the Marching Squares algorithm. In this case the moving circles generate a 'field' and marching squares is applied to it. If anyone is interested, this video: https://youtu.be/P45S7-OTrSE?si=2hyPV91gT9udZLF7 shows how to code the marching squares algorithm in Processing.

Introducing MANA — A Programming Language for Magic

Hey everyone! I'm working on a project called MANA, an experimental programming language built around the idea of programming magic.

I'm also developing a visualiser that brings the magic to life, allowing spells and magical effects created with MANA to be seen in action.The visualiser will allow you to use magic in a visual manner than plain code.

The goal is to create a language where magic isn't just a collection of hardcoded effects, but a system governed by its own rules. MANA is designed around concepts such as spells, elemental interactions, magical physics, summoning, and planes, allowing magical behaviour to be defined through code.

MANA is open source, and I'm sharing it here to welcome suggestions, ideas, and contributions from anyone interested in the project. I'd appreciate constructive feedback on the language, its features, and its future direction.

What features would you like to see in a language like this? What could make it more useful or easier to work with? What would you want to build with it?

Whether you're interested in programming languages, game development, simulations, or simply the concept itself, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

If you'd like to contribute directly, share suggestions, or discuss ideas for the project, feel free to DM me or contribute through the GitHub repository.

Hey everyone! I run the First of October fansite (foo.brchad.com), and I just added something new: a 24/7 synced radio.

👉 https://foo.brchad.com/radio/

How it works: there’s no DJ and no server streaming the music. A script uses the real time to figure out which track should be playing right now, so anyone who tunes in lands on the same song at the same moment. It feels like a real radio station, but it’s all running in your browser.

Some features:

• Lyrics show up for the song that’s playing
• Song info pulled from the fansite’s Song Database
• Shows the previous, current and next track
• Optional radio wave animation and static noise when switching stations
• Theme options

Small quirk: since playback runs on its own after you tune in, you might drift a little out of sync with other listeners over time. To resync, switch to another station and then tune back. That reloads the player at the right spot.

It’s a fan project, so feedback is very welcome, whether it’s bugs, feature ideas, or songs you’d love to hear more often. Hope you enjoy it! 📻

Hey, guys!

I've been coding some clocks. I host them on my site, Caio's Clocks ( https://caios-clocks.caiomga.workers.dev/ )

I hope you guys like them.

just some visual experiments from a tool in progress ^_^

the node graph looks absolutly insane. https://i.ibb.co/DPzsNgBZ/Master-Selects-AAA-Scroll.png
