I loved tixy when I first discovered it a few years ago so created this https://www.mathsuniverse.com/tixy (with permission from the original author) with puzzles to solve on the tixy grid. I use it with my computer science students who get really into it.

Why isn't "(sin(i) * (x > 7)) - (i == 5) + (i == 20) + 0.5 * (i == 32)" a solution to puzzle 36?

Tixy is amazing! I built something very similar: https://muffinman.io/pulsar/ I wanted to create animations for my LED matrix screen, and I couldn’t find tixy anywhere. Only after I built pulsar I found it again. Another similar project is https://sliderland.blinry.org/ which uses HTML sliders. Fun stuff!

This is awesome. But it needs a better renderer.

Almost every animation/image there suffers from horrible moiré because a normal browser canvas was not meant for this. Fine line art needs supersampling and high quality filtering.

Anybody else reminded of the old Sony logo?

edit: much better with a negation :)

My 5yo did great on these until he hit #7 and got stuck! I’m helping him with syntax but trying to hold back from giving conceptual hints for now.

I love the instant visual feedback!

Ah, man, with the colors, I thought this was obvious, but it doesn't quite fit the url. But you can still copy, paste in the box:

(1-sqrt(pow(7.5-x,2)+pow(7.5-y,2))/8)*(y-7.5)

Pokeball.

edit Actually, there's no fixed length, so https://tixy.land/?code=%281-sqrt%28pow%287.5-x%2C2%29%2Bpow...
