First issue of the Gorilla Sun Newsletter! This week we ran a poll on how y'all learned to code, we made some #genart, built a widget, and read a couple of interesting things online about computer magazines, how LLMs work and determinants.

In this tutorial we'll cover how to create a vanilla javascript widget that can be embedded on websites, and is capable of executing javascript safely in an iframe.

In this article we'll have a look at the making of Blöck, a customisable generative token on editART, a new genart platform on the tezos blockchain. From how I came across the platform by chance, to my sketching up initial ideas for the token, and ultimately releasing it on the platform!

In this post we'll have a closer look at Nat Sarkissian's generative FxHash token: Eucalyptus and Sagebrush. The token seamlessly bridges between visually stunning graphics and an intricate terrain generation algorithm. Additionally there's a lot to learn on simulating brush strokes algorithmically

It's only been a couple of days since FxParams launched, but we've already seen quite a few tokens hit the market that make use of it, as well as some discussion and brainstorming sessions in the discord on potential future improvements. Let's see what FxParams is all about!

I've been thinking about moving away from Jekyll for a while now. Don't get me wrong, I love the static site generator, I really do, it's served me well for over two years, but certain aspects of my workflow have become very clunky, and overall I haven't been able to be as efficient...

Creative coding is a new interdisciplinary art form that bridges the gap between technologists and artists. This article explores what it means to be a code artist, what it means to make art with code, and how we approach this new discipline today.

A big recap of Genuary 2023, all the sketches that I've made for the daily prompts as well as my personal favorites from other artists. This article contains a lot of twitter embeds, which might take a couple of seconds to load. Thank you for your patience!

Another year, another recap! Many a sketch, and many an article, 2022 has been creative code galore from start to finish! Let's have a look at the most memorable Gorilla events that happened in 2022.

In this post we'll go over everything that you should know about Javascript Generators. Javascript generators are a versatile feature of ES6 and allow for interesting programming strategies, that otherwise wouldn't be possible.

In this post we'll have a look at the P5JS graphics buffer and how to effectively use it in your P5 sketching practice. We'll also create a variation of the 10 PRINT pattern that repeats seamlessly.

Mastodon is where all the cool kids are right now. If you've been meaning to join the Twitter alternative and don't know where to start, then this post got you covered. We'll go over how to sign up to Mastodon and how everything on the platform works.
