#2Repeatedly click the dots for a tutorial, click and drag to rotate, and – after writing a function of your own – hit "enter" to generate a shareable URL!

Let me be clear: This thing is wholly derivative, merely adding a third dimension to Martin Kleppe's excellent creative code golfing tool tixy [0] (which you should definitely check out if you find yourself liking this 3D variant of it) by mashing it up with David DeSandro's equally-excellent 3D library Zdog [1]. Those two deserve any and all credit.

#3This is so cool! Great job.

If you stop that one rotating with the mouse, it's some kind of brain-damaging illusion. Or thousands of illusions, most of which do something weird to your eyes–it looks very different from different angles. Hmm that is such a great way of generating (2D) optical illusions!

#4Inspired by tixy.land, I recently made a simple game engine with 16x16 animated “pixels”. We used it as an in-class activity during the last week of the semester.

#5I love this project.
but also, if you are sensitive to flashing lights, this web page has 512 of them.

Edit: i just figured out that t is a float, I thought it was the seconds as an int.
Edit 2: if anyone reads this, try to make a barbershop type thing.

This looks way to close to the original, and deceptively so at that.
I doubt it was your intent, but at the very least you should give the credit to tixy.land, with a link, front and center right there on the page.
Also, something as simple as using a different color pair would really help to distance it from the original.

#9I've wanted to build a LED cube [1] for a while, but just haven't had the time to get to it yet. This is basically a virtual version of the same thing, very cool. And significantly simpler to experiment with before committing to several days of soldering.

#10Did you fix the bug in the tixy.land code where one could inject as much code as wanted via location.hash?
Here is the post from when I discovered it:

Edit: no, that still works, here is an example:
