Collection of artwork made with the integer circle algorithm (Minsky circle)
- eps 5y ago> Glitches Very curious. Mr. Wolfram and his "rule 30" would probably like a word. Or perhaps it's just integer overflow artifacts. Regardless it's fascinating to see chaotic behavior emerge from something that simple.
- phkahler 5y agoThat might be useful to further simplify this gist: https://gist.github.com/phkahler/1ddddb79fc57072c4269fdd6716bfb72 https://gist.github.com/phkahler/1ddddb79fc57072c4269fdd6716... Coolest blinkin' light ever.
- zanfr 5y agoNice!
- tired_dreamer 5y agoCould be nice to see something like that in music visualization. Miss this feature in online music services..
- mrtnmcc 5y ago> Here is basically the two lines by which all the artworks below were started from: x += y >> 4; y -= x >> 4; This is the discrete time version of a Harmonic Oscillator, an energy conserving differential equation. The introduction of nonlinearity results in the complex behaviour.

- masswerk 5y agoBTW, here's Minsky's own application, known as the "Minskytron": https://www.masswerk.at/minskytron/ https://www.masswerk.at/minskytron/ (You may set 3-bit wide bit-shift parameters by the switches at the bottom of the screen in groups of 3, one each for scaling x and y parameters of each of the 3 generators/oscillators. There are also a few presets in the menu at the top to select from. Mind that patterns aren't exactly stable for the limited 18-bit word precision of the PDP-1.) For those interested in the workings, there's a schematic in the description and a link to the annotated source code.
