I painted the outside of a circle with conductive paint and hooked it up to an Arduino so that when you touched it, it would read out Tau times the radius.

I decided to use the esoteric programming language, Piet and got it to output IMPOSSIBLE. Piet works based on pictures. You draw coloured blocks and then change the hue and the lightness to use different commands. For a block for the letter 'I' you could draw a block with 73 pixels as that's the ASCII code for I.

The more difficult bit seemed to be making sure it jumped to the right coloured block and also making sure it terminated at the end.

Here is a screenshot of my program that outputs IMPOSSIBLE:

(The actual image ended up very small.)
Genuary 12 - Squares

The prompt was "subdivision" but I ran out of time and didn't finish what I was doing, so ended up with some squares like this:

Squares

Genuary 13 - Triangles

I also did not have much time yesterday, so just made some quick green triangles appear.

Today's prompt was black and white, so I cross-stitched a QR code! It leads to the Genuary website. Much easier than the black on black one.
