Twitter Sketches is a series of generative art. The challenge is to write code that is less than or equal to 140 characters so that it can be tweeted. The code is Processing, and results in a geometry-based animation. This series has really pushed me to consider the process of writing the code in an entirely different manner. Instead of creating an idea and expanding upon it, I think of a single line of code, such as an ellipse, and then build the code around that. The difficult part is using a combination of code slang and clever tricks to both limit the characters and make the sketch come alive.
