Genuary is a month of daily generative art prompts, happening every January.
For this 2024 edition, I gave myself extra constraints:
- square format, the result is a still image (not an animation);
- draw with only black, white (or shades of gray) and another single color, evolving every day (see the function
rainbowin index.html).
