Rest assured, it does fit in the end 😀 Just watch the animation play out.

#Genuary #Genuary2026 #Genuary14 Prompt: Everything fits perfectly! Fit 9 squares of 9, 8 squares of 8, etc., inside a square of 45. A.k.a. the "partridge problem" (think of the Xmas carol). See the animation at amarillion.github.io/genuary26/

#Genuary #Genuary4 #Genuary2026 Day 4: LowRes Revisiting another classic. Drawing Bresenham lines in XOR mode, creating this pretty Moiré pattern. On #zxspectrum, XOR mode was an optimization, but with current tech, it's a performance hit as it requires reading bitmap memory, a big no-no.

#Genuary2026 #Genuary #Genuary3 "Fibonacci forever" - I went for a classic visualization of the golden spiral. Matching Fibonacci rectangles with a logarithmic spiral is actually rather finicky.

Starting off #genuary with a very simple animation. Genuary is one creative coding prompt per day, let's see how many I can get done in a month! #genuary1

It might be different for you because you're catering to a specific niche... But IMHO bsky and twitter are a very poor way to reach actual gamers.

Icing on the cake from @fairphone.bsky.social: Our brand-new $$$ FP6 was soft locked on the TOS approval screen. Checkbox and Next button overlapping so no way to click either. I got through this by decreasing text size in the accessibility menu. Without help, my mom would have had to return it.

POV: you're a non-native developer in the Netherlands and you have to pronounce the word Buienradar 100x during your talk 😄 (No shade, it's a great talk by Neel Bhatt) #jfall
