sprite sheet with some reasonable results, hand selected procedural sprite generator results
A grid of early 80s 2d arcade game sprites.
Colorful particle clouds inside biunit cube volumes, attached to mobius strips - data from earlier experiment. try on your own data https://lardratboy.github.io/research/MobiusPrism.html
stick figure made out of low poly spheres, blue halo, swirl for the head and a happy smile. green blob body. Doodled with https://lardratboy.github.io/research/scriptorium.html
orange-brownish sphere with the word tiny scribbled on it, with a the word smaller written above it - tool used located -> https://lardratboy.github.io/research/scriptorium.html
black and white cat with a question mark pattern
colorful projection of low entropy data - tool used https://lardratboy.github.io/nested/gemini-companding-v1.html
colorful screenshot of a match-4 game played on 3 orthonormal 5x5 planes. https://lardratboy.github.io/boxed-in.html
lovely pastel colors with a very geometric shape of data. Source is a game data file viewed as uint32 x,y,z - and density from mapping to quantized values.
interesting plot of game data, structural lines and curious clustering tool used https://lardratboy.github.io/nested/nested6(maths).html

colorful point cloud with false coloring, screen shot of a new data viewing tool https://lardratboy.github.io/nested/nested6(wgpu).html
very colorful, oddly satisfying gradients, highly asymmetrical pattern, grab of live url https://www.glslsandbox.com/e#77292.1234
9 spheres, clipped to -1,-1,-1 to +1,+1,+1 with gradients
nine spheres clipped to volume -1,-1,-1 to +1,+1,+1 - shader https://www.shadertoy.com/view/W3lyzB
data extracted from .sog file upper bits of the position means, tool used https://codepen.io/lardratboy/full/NPGQPJq
asymmetrical patterns with lovely colors
experimental projection mode for dataprism point cloud data as (col, row) = z % sqrt(2^q), floor( z / sqrt(2^q) ) - normalized color at col * 2^q + x, row * 2^q + y. q is quantization bits

game mockup screenshot. Shows a grid of slidable grids, with too many controls
screen grab of a J2ME game image projected to 3d in a naive way
Image shows a projection using x,y,rgb/3 as the coordinates, sort of looks neato

point cloud of a data file, unexpected obvious pattern
Colorful gradients, 9 spheres, clipped to -1,-1,-1 to +1,+1,+1
TurnONs circa 2003/4 game circa 2003, scene shows introduction of grouped tile turning and the hazards of of not planning ahead.
A of limited use but visually interesting projection of raw mixed endian byte order interleaved modulo 3
