I originally wrote this tool for the music video "Tides", which won first place in @revision_party@twitter.com's Wild competition this year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUTPlQzfz1k

The interactive version takes huge inspiration from @aemkei@twitter.com's "tixy", which has around 0.5 dimensions more, and uses a 16x16 dot grid! https://tixy.land

Another inspiration was "Checkboxland", which @BryanEBraun@twitter.com made at the @recursecenter@twitter.com in 2020! https://www.bryanbraun.com/checkboxland/

I'm especially amazed by this animation that @daniel_bohrer made!

Such a simple expression: (i^(t*20)%64)/63
But so much recursive complexity!

@blinry @daniel_bohrer follow for more recursive algorithm art ! @bitartbot

@blinry Hah, I already wondered whether you were inspired by that 🙂

@blinry great! Really cool and creative what you can do.
Except the Google promotion - it hurts. Honestly. Please don't! https://contrachrome.com/

@SeeHorst Thanks for pointing that out! I'm also unhappy with the situation that the're only a good technical solution for recording MP4s in some of the browsers. :/

@axwax Thanks!! :)

@marc_michalsky Pretty! :)

@tian Cool!! The same technique could be used for a real clock, I guess! :O

@blinry @tian this looks hectic… also some sliders seem to move at the same time🤔

@EdJoPaTo @blinry You may prefer to divide by (base-1), but you need the same base in base** and %base

@tian @blinry I suspected that while playing around with that. Thanks for confirming!

Sadly the number is not that big so it looks nicer with lower bases. And using a binary base with sliders looks lame… let’s call it artistic compromise 🙃

@blinry Using a different technique, and having hours with only six minutes for more watching fun:

@blinry Great! I had a similar idea. Now I don't have to do it!
