randomness – a generative zine
I coded a generative zine to bring to XOXO 2024. It is different every time it loads with a sampling of p5.js sketches. Each zine has hundreds of thousands to millions of generated shapes and points using random numbers. The github is here (the code is slow to run and painful to read). If you […]
Curve
I made Curve, a coloring book, to bring to XOXO 2024 this week. If you’d like to print/play: See the Pen Curve Zine by Sophia (fractal kitty) (she/her) (@fractalkitty) on CodePen.
SumFib
After playing simple yet addictive games like Threes and 2048, I wondered how the gameplay mechanics would translate using Fibonacci numbers, which introduce a unique twist. I wrote a prototype in p5js. You can swipe on mobile or use arrows/WASD on desktop. I did this in about a day and unit tested
Genuary 2024
This year’s Genuary code is here (I will update as I go through the prompts). My codepen gallery is here. I am hoping to play with symmetry the entire month. Day-31 – generative music (this runs slow on mobile and some machines) Day-30 – shaders Day-29 – Signed Distance Functions (if we keep trying
Porthales
I wanted to undertake a data project that could be completed in less than a day, so I decided to work with storm manhole data from Salem, Oregon. The primary aim of this project is to foster community creativity—whether through code, imagination, writing, or conversation. The map has transformed 10,
Mathober Pieces
Mathober 2023 Prompts are here.This year I used a mix of p5js and procreate to play with stellar scenes – enjoy! There were some great sketches on Mathstodon including hilarious videos, comics, generative music, puns, and more. Links on titles take you to codePen full page view. Some days I played w

Ancient Is
Below are a few of the images created with my “ancient is” code in p5js. I created a set is paired with haiku on Medium here and code is here (click to change).
Creative Coding Update
April was a fun month of coding. I am sharing a few of the pieces and activities from this month below. Have fun forking, playing, and creating! A Quiet Space This piece was created at the end of March as a stream of consciousness. I started with the Birb’s Nest coding group prompt of “space” […]
Serendipitous Oulipo Haiku
I copied, pasted, cut, poked, threaded, beaded, coded, and finished Serendipitous Oulipo Haiku. Four hundred and eighteen haiku when rearranged by first, second, and third lines yield 418 x 418 x 418 poems. That is 73,034,632 haiku that often work, sometimes seem profound, and other times are broken
