The Art of Code
summary
Covers concrete examples: Conway’s Game of Life builds logic gates and a Turing-complete computer; Mandelbrot zooms to infinite self‑similar detail; Google DeepDream repurposes CNNs to generate psychedelic art; obfuscated C entries include a terminal Flappy Bird and a Mandelbrot generator; a chess engine fits in under 1KB of JavaScript; a zero‑byte C quine once compiled; a polyquine cycles through 128 languages via apt‑installable runtimes; a browser Rockstar interpreter at codewithrockstar.com runs fizzbuzz as a song and works live.
