Genuary

Publicado 2024-08-06

Last month I did "Tiny Code Christmas" (#lovebytetcc), and it was lots of fun, so I decided this month to try #genuary.

The idea is simple: every day you get a prompt from this website, and do some programming art based on it.

Or not. Since I'm a few days late, I decided to begin at prompt #1, "perfect loop":


This was something I threw together rather quickly, just to get started. I used some of the ideas that I already used in #lovebytetcc, but tried to make sure that they all would loop back to zero after 8 seconds (length of pico8 standard gifs).

It could probably be done more intelligently, by restricting the time variable and making the animations based on that, but I just wanted to get something out of the door quickly.

See you tomorrow!
