Man Bites Brontosaurus

and other astounding TRUE stories

A piece about sensationalism, which can be fun when satirical, absurd or surreal, but also has become a real problem in the news and the web, with rampant click baits, fake news and the constant need for clicks, orchestrated by unfeeling sorting algorithms and AIs.

Saturated colors, high contrasts and energy for a generator that produces multi-scale Truchet-like tiles in various patterns meant to evoke some kind of alien or ancient typography, based code I originally wrote for Genuary 2024 day 20 : Generative Typography ( https://ulucode.com/genuary24/20/ )

The generator can take up to a minute to produce the artwork depending or your CPU, so please be patient.

!!! Be sure the check the menu that you can find by click/tap the BUTTON in the TOP LEFT !!!

In this menu you'll find some options to customize your experience (frame toggle, anti-aliasing, aspect ratio), and some option to explore the composition yourself by unlocking the camera. While the artwork is primarily static 2D, it's also fully real time 3D. This mode is recommended for people with a decent GPU or a recent mobile phone.

!!! TO EXPORT CLEAN HIGH RESOLUTION CAPTURES, click the "EXPORTS" button in the menu, select your desired resolution then click the "START CAPTURE" button. This only works when the generator is running in its own window, so be sure to click the "OPEN" button.

Best performances/experience on desktop in Chrome.
UI uses the font Red Hat Display (OFL)
Everything else is code.
