A step-by-step guide to making a dispersing anemone, drawing writhing lines and a frame effect in p5.js. The livestream covers four parts: tentacles built from wavering lines, mouse interaction plus colour, texture and an outer frame, finer tentacles for detail, and a converging base that gathers the anemone into a cluster.

### Trigonometry for the web, Part 1 — satellite around the moon



The notes first work through trigonometric calculation and translate it into code, then use html (pug), css (sass) and js to build a satellite orbiting the moon from scratch as a web animation. Two past cases, Dyverse Studio and the Complex Life Festival, illustrate why trigonometry, coordinate systems and canvas matter for real-time drawing.

### Coral Carnival — daily sketch



It has grown hotter again, and even memories are beginning to bleach. / The clownfish has left for good, and coral without him / is really no more than a colourful empty shell. / Social animals cannot leave one another after all, / yet they drifted apart and left only the relics of time.

### Quantum Unstable — a glowing entangled system



Deforming concentric circles made in p5.js. The notes record starting without a fixed idea: points are placed in polar coordinates and joined with curveVertex(), and only at step five, when a central nucleus appears, does the physics and science fiction direction settle, after which free particles, numbered gauges and surrounding lines finish the piece.

### Sweet Trap — daily sketch



Hatched in the shadows, giving off a thorned sweetness, / a vivid phantom coiling upward, / turning in the cycle without ever noticing, / woken only at the moment before suffocation, / eyes wide open, staring at its own folly.

### Fireworks Festival — daily sketch



Brief but brilliant, burning life to ignite the spectrum, / cherishing every bloom because each one takes a different shape. / Fireworks made with a particle system and gradient colours.

### Island Impression — daily sketch



On the other side of the sea there seem to be islands. / Gazing out, sometimes a faint outline is visible, / sometimes it is swallowed by haze and glinting waves, sometimes it gathers and scatters again. / Do they really exist, or has my own insistence turned into an illusion?

### Birds on Wires — daily sketch



Desire to fly, gather on the unsteady steel cables, / Imitating moves of others, rushing to jump in the crowd, / Try your best to not fall from the wires, / Not even have the freedom to touch the sky.

A collection of mysterious creatures whose faces carry everyday emotions; the site says they are you and me, lying on the ground and playing all day.
