Hello, I added a new chapter to the Programming Crypopunks booklet titled: Inside the Punk Art Machinery - How To Generate 10 000 Punks (and Punkettes), Algorithmically - Paint by Numbers. It reads: Let’s code the artist known as generate_punk - a method that returns a (ready-to-save) punk image from the attribute parts coded as numbers starting at 1. If the code is 0 then the (optional) part gets skipped… Cheers. Prost.

'Yo dawg, I herd u liek CMS' - the March 2021 release of ShinyCMS

This month’s big news for ShinyCMS is that the remaining main_app functionality has now been moved into a ‘core features’ plugin, which is a big step towards finalising the ‘pluginification’ of the whole CMS. The end goal is for ShinyCMS to be an entirely modular system that you can bolt into your own web application, rather than a stand-alone CMS - although I’ll still produce a ‘reference’ app that just includes all the plugins, so people can easily install it as a standalone CMS if they want to. There are still some loose ends to tidy up, but it’s nice to have that goal feeling very close now! :) [more inside]
