Back in 2009 Rhizome sponsored a “Tiny Sketch” competition at the OpenProcessing website. All the entries had to be 200 characters or less. I entered about 16 sketches, many of which are unreadable, due to lack of whitespace, and short variable names.

I thought it would be fun to present some of the nicer ones here, although I’m going to raise the limit to 300 characters in the interest of readability. All these sketches can be reduced 200 characters or less, with some ingenuity.

This one looks interesting if you make tiny mouse wiggles on top of it. Because I’m using the BLUR filter, it has a slow framerate in Processing.js, but works okay in regular Processing.
