A blog about creative technology.

Hi, I'm Ahmad.
I'm a creative coder and writer exploring the space where math, art, and code overlap. Gorilla Sun is where I share what I make and everything I learn along the way.
Expect deep dives on generative art, shaders, and p5.js — written for the curious, whether you're drawing your first circle or debugging your hundredth shader.
More about meHere we make the computer make pretty things.
And I write about how. Tutorials, half-broken experiments, and notes on finding your own creative voice with code — for anyone who thinks programming should be a little more fun.

Tutorials, deep dives and notes
Most of what I learn ends up here: step-by-step tutorials on generative art and p5.js, long reads on algorithms I got a little obsessed with, and now and then the story behind a piece.

Things I've made
My longer generative projects, most of them released on-chain: each series in one place, with its outputs side by side.
Where there's a write-up behind a piece, the making-of posts below tell the story.
Sketches
Code you can open and play with
Small p5.js sketches and starter templates: flow fields, circle packing, grids and particles. Open one, change a number, see what happens.
They're the starting points I reach for myself, tidied up so you can use them too.
Community
Where the community lives
Here we hang out on a regular basis! Join a friendly community of 200+ creative coders sharing work, asking for help when a sketch won't behave, and swapping links.
