Implement a simple virtual machine with two instructions:
nopwhich does nothing for 1 cycles andaddx $nwhich adds$nto theXregister (initial value 1) in two cycles. Calculate the sum ofcycle * Xfor the cycles 20, 60, 100, 140, 180, 220.
Simulate two connected links such that whenever the first link (head) moves, the tail moves to follow according to the following rules:
Count how many unique spaces are visited by the tail of the link.
I recently came across a problem where I had a single image with a transparent background containing multiple images that I wanted to split into their component parts. For example, split this:
Into these:
What feels like a million years and a lifetime ago, I wrote up a library for perlin and simple noise in Racket. Inspired by Jens Axel Søgaard’s new Sketching library (processing in Racket) and a conversation thereabout, I figure it’s about time to push noise to the raco package manager!
Perhaps the best known fractal of all: the Mandelbrot set.
Since I was already working on Python code that would render an image given a function (for a future post), I figured that I might as well render fractals with it.
Quick post today. Let’s implement Tupper's self-referential formula in Racket!

That’s the result of graphing the above function at a point rather far away from the origin. Specifically, where y is around that crazy big number. Look familiar?
Inspired half by a post on the Code Golf StackExchange and half by the corresponding website allrgb.com, today’s post tasks us with making images like this:
So what’s so interesting about that picture?
