For some super arcane deep cuts, I've ported JT Nimoy's "Textension" vector font (1999) and Douglas Hofstadter's "Letter Spirit" gridfonts (c.1987-1996) to p5.js, now available in my archive of p5-single-line-font-resources: github.com/golanlevin/p...

Generating vibrant palettes with Kubelka-Munk pigment mixing, using 5 primaries (blue, yellow, red, white, black). The routine selects 2 pigments and a random concentration of the two; although it can extend to higher dimensions by sampling the N-dimensional pigment simplex.

Research/experiments building an OSS implementation of practical and real-time Kubelka-Munk pigment mixing. Not yet as good as Mixbox, but getting closer. Comparing LUT (32x32x32 stored in PNG) vs a small neural net (2 hidden layers, 16 neurons).
