PS: We welcome any additions to TOOLS.md

I'm posting this here for my own accountability! I plan on submitting something. I want to merge evolutionary algorithms centered around image manipulation and perhaps a poem or something nice layered on top of it.

I'm enjoying learning about the Sketching library, it seems to be a rather powerful tool. I'm coming from Ruby/Python-land, so it's going to be a bumpy road but I enjoy the occasion to make something creative and intentionally non-commercial.

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

A new entry in the Creative Racket Competition:

Miller-Rabin Liars

Primality tests like the Fermat test and the Miller-Rabin test rely on so-called "witnesses." In the case of Fermat, if a^{p-1} = 1 (mod p) , for some a , then p is probably prime. The a is called a Fermat witness. However, if a composite passes the test for a given a , then a is called a Fermat liar . The same principle holds for Miller-Rabin, although the equation is slightly more complicated.

Which numbers are the most honest? Which ones are the most lying? That's what the given visualization is supposed to show. This is also a gradually typed program. The numeric computation happens in Typed Racket, while the visualization part happens in untyped Racket.

Thank you to a11ce for the latest entry:

SpaceDraw!

A drawing game/tool/thing for night skies. With the galaxy brush, draw quick circles to create distant galaxies, or drag back and forth slowly across a long line to look up at the one you're in. The hue is unique each time. The stars brush creates stars of varying colors and sizes. Wiggle your mouse to increase the density.

  • #lang p5 (racket-p5). It uses Urlang to compile to JavaScript, so you don't actually need to install anything unless you want to tweak it.

Entry link: Use it here.
Code link: Code is here.
