The Art of Code
summary
Starts from childhood Logo graphics and traces concrete examples: Conway’s Game of Life yields gliders, guns and logic gates and a working NAND; Mandelbrot exploration shows Mandelbrot set zooms infinitely via z → z² + c; demos include deep dream images, Sonic Pi live-coding beats, and obfuscated/quine feats (an Ouroboros quine cycling through 128 languages). Built artifacts include a web-hosted Rockstar language, compilers/transpilers in several languages, and an interpreter that runs and performs successfully.
