uhhh why not suitable for art? I'm digging into it right now and made some trippy stuff!

- w_for_wumbo 2y agoThat's a really neat demonstration! Would you mind if I use this code to jump off with my own tangent? (I want to hook the microphone audio into it, to control the patterns based off voice/music) The way the patterns looked, felt natural enough that my brain was trying to make sense of the chaos.
- neontomo 2y agogo right ahead! i can make a repo for it if you have any trouble copying. PLEASE, for the love of god, send it to me later. I am extremely interested (not just saying that). tomomyrman@proton.me or reply here or, let's collab!
- detay 2y agoasked the same question. i think this is art itself!
- GuB-42 2y agoIt is a sizecoding/demoscene classic, which is a form of art. Using it as-is tends to be discouraged though, because it is considered unoriginal and lazy for all but the tiniest of intros. Variations on it are fine.
- aftbit 2y ago>However, it's so overused that it's not a good choice to use in in a demo or intro release. I guess because it's been seen before? Don't let anyone else yuck your yum though - if you like it and find a way to make it look cool, use it!
