The _ **Creative Racket Competition 2022** _ starts today!

Enter early - enter often.

Some ideas to get you started;

- Sketching - like Processing but _better_ ! Look at the repo for a brief introduction, with links to the full documentation and examples: [https://github.com/soegaard/sketching](https://github.com/soegaard/sketching)
- Animate an AOC solution
- use one of the functional picture libraries to create an [Escher tessellation](https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/257577/1/funcgeo2.pdf) Racket functional picture libraries ([pict](https://docs.racket-lang.org/pict/) or [2htdp/image](https://docs.racket-lang.org/teachpack/2htdpimage.html)). More inspiration from Conal Elliot [Functional Images](http://conal.net/papers/functional-images/)
- Use [Graphite](https://icfp21.sigplan.org/details/scheme-2021-papers/8/Graphite-A-Library-for-Data-Visualization-Lightning-Talk-) to visualise some data

Theses are just suggestions - everything is permitted!

[TOOLS.md](https://github.com/standard-fish/creative-racket-2022/blob/master/TOOLS.md) has lots more tools to try.

Best wishes
