Lab Notes

Updated 21 June 2026. Pixel Art Editor v2.1.0 is now hosted on the Qídé Studio site. The control panel has been rebuilt with the studio’s Qídé UI library, typography has switched to Nudica Mono, and the interface includes a Clean UI mode with a Show UI toggle that matches the rest of the archive. Images load via drag-and-drop, file picker, clipboard paste, or URL; nine pixel shapes apply to pixelation and drawing strokes, with pixel-size and grid-division modes adjustable in real time. Divisions mode adds a Width from Brightness toggle for duotone halftone effects. A text overlay supports a nine-position dropdown and independent pixelation; a colour palette manager holds up to 16 swatches. Sessions autosave to localStorage every 30 seconds, and work saves as a portable JSON project file alongside PNG and SVG export.

Updated 20 June 2026. Pattern Creator v2.0.0 is now hosted on the Qídé Studio site. The control panel has been rebuilt with the studio’s Qídé UI library, typography has switched to Nudica Mono, and the interface includes a Clean UI mode with a Show UI toggle that matches the rest of the archive. The underlying p5.js pattern engine is unchanged: up to five stacked layers of shapes can be sized, spaced, rotated, and coloured independently, then exported as a high-resolution PNG. Presets can be saved and loaded, and a custom SVG shape can be uploaded for use in any layer.

Updated 20 June 2026. Fractal Dimensions v1.1.0 migrates the experiment to the studio’s shared Qídé UI control panel, giving it the same look and interaction model as Wave Dynamics and Algorithmic Forms. The fractal selector, iteration and motion controls, colour pickers, and visibility toggles are now grouped in a collapsible panel; live monitors report vertex count, fractal dimension, and FPS. Clean UI mode, an info modal per fractal, and PNG / 30-second WebM export round out the update.

Updated 19 June 2026. Algorithmic Forms v1.3.0 improves algorithmic fidelity across the experiment: the gyroid is now a true Marching Cubes isosurface instead of a point cloud, the Hopf fibration is rendered as explicit circle fibers via stereographic projection, and the superellipsoid exposes two independent shape exponents. The vertex shader now recomputes normals after displacement, non-orientable surfaces receive reduced displacement to preserve topology, and the wireframe overlay now uses the same shader so it deforms with the surface. Independent Surface and Wireframe toggles allow wireframe-only views, and geometry rebuilds are debounced with vertex-count caps for smoother interaction.

Updated 18 June 2026. C0SM1C SCR1P7 0x6E v1.3.0 adds single-frame PNG export. The Export panel now includes a PNG Res dropdown (1920 × 1080, 2560 × 1440, 3840 × 2160, or Current viewport) and a Save PNG button. The canvas temporarily resizes to the chosen resolution, renders one frame, downloads the image, and restores the viewport.

The tool continues to render user-supplied text as animated 3D point clouds via real-time WebGL, with the Qídé UI control panel, Nudica Mono typography, Clean UI mode, custom font and photo sprite upload, keyframe timeline, WebM recording, GIF export, and PNG sequence export.

Updated 18 June 2026. Wave Dynamics v1.2.0 migrates the controls to the studio’s Qídé UI library, adopts Nudica Mono typography, and adds a Clean UI mode with a “Show UI” toggle. The experiment now runs nine real-time WebGL wave simulations: Standing Wave, Wave Interference, Ripple Tank, Chladni Pattern, Perlin Noise, Spherical Harmonics, Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability, Bessel Function, and Wave Packet. New controls include colour pickers, independent Surface and Wireframe toggles, particle toggle, auto-rotate, live monitors for vertices, wavelength, and FPS, plus export options for PNG stills and 30-second high-resolution WebM video.

Updated 17 June 2026. C0SM1C SCR1P7 0x6E v1.2.0 migrates the control panel from Tweakpane to the studio’s Qídé UI library, adopts Nudica Mono typography, and adds a Clean UI mode with a “Show UI” toggle. The tool still renders user-supplied text as animated 3D point clouds via real-time WebGL, with photo sprite mode, a keyframe timeline, custom font upload, and multi-format export: WebM, GIF, and PNG sequence.

Released 17 June 2026. Babylonian Mathematics v1.0.0 is a browser-based visualisation of Babylonian mathematics through seven interactive geometric sketches: sexagesimal arithmetic, Plimpton 322 Pythagorean triples, Seleucid-period zigzag functions, the YBC 7289 square-root of 2 approximation, BM 13901 completing-the-square proofs, and reciprocal tables. Controls are built with the studio’s Qídé UI library.

Updated 16 June 2026. Particle Nova v1.1.0 migrates the control panel to the studio’s Qídé UI library, matching the site typography and styling. The update adds Pulse and Orbit explosion modes and removes the Brightness and Contrast sliders.

Updated 13 June 2026. Colour lab v2.1.0 replaces the inline HTML controls with the studio’s Qídé UI library, matching the site typography and styling. A Harmonies section lets users isolate and display one relationship at a time – complementary, analogous, triadic, or tetradic – directly on the wheel. The colour-count slider now ranges from 6 to 48 sections, and the wheel scales to 80% of the viewport on large screens. The JSON / ASE / ACO export remains unchanged.

Updated 13 June 2026. 5YN7H 0x1F v1.1.0 migrates the control panel to the studio’s Qídé UI library and adds a Clean UI mode that hides the panel, badge, and footer for unobstructed recordings. Users can now upload their own font to replace the default Nudica Mono, and a licence note explains that Nudica Mono requires a separate commercial licence for commercial use. The recording time monitor, audio upload trigger, and dynamic record/stop button are preserved, and the CSP was adjusted so the particle text font continues to load.

Updated 13 June 2026. Neon Noir v1.1.0 replaces the Tweakpane control panel with the studio’s own Qídé UI library, unifying the tool’s typography and interaction design with the main site. The update also introduces a Compare toggle that swaps between the processed image and the original upload without reprocessing.

Released 2 May 2026. 0xB1T T1L3S renders a live camera feed as a grid of rectangular colour blocks. Pixel width and height are controlled independently, yielding square tiles, horizontal bands, or vertical columns. Four style mappings – Dream, Mono, Neon, and Ghost – posterise each block using a perceptual luminance formula. A live preview mode runs the effect in real time; output saves as a 1080 × 1920 PNG.

Updated 30 April 2026. 0xB0DY BIT6 v2.0.0 moves the segmentation engine to TensorFlow.js BodyPix, which maps a live webcam feed into 24 distinct body-part regions. Each region renders as a field of 0s and 1s in a region-specific colour. The update introduces five palette modes: Neon, Mono, Infra, Ice, and Custom. Density and glyph size remain user-adjustable; captures save as PNG. This release represents a substantial architectural change from v1.

Updated 28 April 2026. Version 1.2.0 of the (Image) Colour Analysis Tool extends its output formats to CSS custom properties, W3C Design Tokens JSON, and Tailwind configuration snippets. These additions make colour-analysis output directly usable in design systems and front-end build tooling without manual conversion. Earlier output formats – plain text and JSON – remain available alongside the new ones.
