About This Theme

Code as a medium for art. Creative coding is about making things that are beautiful, strange, or surprising — generative patterns, interactive visuals, data art, audio visualizers. No design experience needed. Just curiosity.

The Challenge

Build something visual and interactive using canvas, WebGL, or any creative coding library. It should respond to user input or generate something new each time it runs.
