Theme for Day 5 of #codesketchtober is Death & Decay. I'm cheating a bit and adding zombies to my previous Life sketch.

Day 4 of #codesketchtober - Life & Growth. Skipping around a bit, because why not? Haven't done a Conway's Game of Life thing in a good long while. I don't think I messed it up too badly.

Added a drunken pilot and a crude HUD to this sketch. Think I'm going to call it done for now and take a bike ride!

Not that I'm going to end up with this exactly, but taking some inspiration from Escape from New York

Still taking longer than a day on day 2 of #codesketchtober, but it's looking slightly more like the futuristic thing I've got in mind!

Well, it's not quite what I had in mind yet, but it looks kinda neat anyway?

I've tinkered with this little color cycling doodle off & on for four days when I meant to wrap up in one. Maybe I'll call it done for now, even though I kind of wanted to add stars, sun, moon, some cars, etc.

I am just spending way too much time trying to animate a perpetual road trip in probably the most awkward way I can imagine

Tried hacking together a sky with a day & night cycle. Needs work and I don't know a lot about color. But it's not entirely terrible?

Keep thinking I'm going to make a game, but instead I just make lots of sketches. Maybe I'll make a game eventually, but it might be more fun to just make it easier to make & share sketches.

To wit, here are some bouncing balls as a "hello world"

These Hershey fonts look pretty nice for being 54 years old

Every song's great but "Every Atom" from that album has some epic lyrics:

"I waited round until the edge of time
I saw comets fly, Andromeda and the Milky Way collide
‘Cause if I have to split every atom just to find a trace of you
If I have to split every atom
That’s what I’ll do"

Got a new record. Lanterns on the Lake, "Spook the Herd". It is very good and it kind of got me through last summer. https://lanternsonthelake.bandcamp.com/album/spook-the-herd

There are many categories of endeavor for which I have Very Strong Ideas on how they Should Be Done Correctly - but I also don't have any enthusiasm to do those things. So I'm also aware that my Very Strong Ideas are quite possibly Full Of Shit because I haven't tried them.

Making brunch again

I'm gonna wreck my eyes with all the black lights I'm planning to rig up down there

The girl found us some arcade carpet for the basement! This has been a thing like almost 10 years in the questing

MEAT PLANET. LIQUID BEEF. PORK VOLCANOS. FORMED WHEN AN EARLY GOD EXPLODED OR SOMETHING.

Because the song "Sunny Pie" by Majesty Crush came on the radio, I called this guy next to me "buddy pie"
