January / Genuary is over for another year, and I’m coming to the end of my enforced holiday, starting my new remote teaching job this week. Despite the “need to find a new job” pressure, it’s actually been pretty nice to sink some time into things like the Pandas Workout book, Advent of Code (my first 50 stars, although I relied on some explanations for a couple of the problems) and Genuary.
For Genuary I got through most of the month (certainly a lot more than last year when I was working throughout January) and made a few things that I was pretty happy with, so I thought I’d put together some outputs from my Genuary code here, since it’s nice to be able to look at everything all together.
I also have the collections of my code for past Genuaries here:
- 2025 - OpenProcessing
- 2024 - OpenProcessing
- 2023 - OpenProcessing
- 2022 - OpenProcessing
- 2021 - GitHub
Below is a gallery of static outputs and some movie renders. This year I generally tried to avoid animated outputs unless there didn’t feel like any other way to achieve my ideas (and frankly, because video is a PITA to share nicely).
