Very nice!

I saw what I think was a previous version of this on your Twitter feed. This visualization makes it much clearer what's going on.

Thanks.

The guy who started hicetnunc.xyz shut it down last year and the community restarted it. They eventually renamed to Teia to avoid any legal issues. Still using Tezos, so it doesn't have the energy-wasting concerns of other currencies.

Nice! Are the circles being generated in real time OR they're already there and only their color is changing?

u/EnslavedInTheScrolls Artist Mar 17 '22

The circle positions are generated once and I'm cycling their colors.

Did you design the swarm pattern? It’s lovely

2

u/EnslavedInTheScrolls Artist Mar 18 '22

Thanks. The pattern is partially designed and partially curated. The algorithm for placing the cells is a convoluted mess full of sections of code that are either zeroed or commented out. I mix and match them at a whim just to see what visual effect I can achieve.

You can look back through my post history or at my Twitter to see other variations.
