I’ve been mulling the idea of starting a development diary for a [Long-Form Generative Art](https://tylerxhobbs.com/essays/2021/the-rise-of-long-form-generative-art) piece. This piece is called: Rope. It’s an algorithm built around the ideas of position, color and size. I’m building off of an idea that I first explored in the pieces “Rainbow Rope” and “Rainbow Rope 2“:

Version 1 of the algorithm implements the first two ideas of position and color. I’ll send more updates as I make em.
