piet

Piet isn't an image format, it's the result of executing the image as a Piet program.

The walls of this room resemble Japanese rice-paper walls -- but the divisions are arranged as in a Piet Mondrian painting.

Or similar: Piet Gifs: every n instructions the program changes but the IP remains.

I remember learning Piet for the Perplex City ARG (2006/2007) and thought it was an amazingly weird language.

Well, my last attempts the idea was to make a Piet Mondrian pong...

I like this eloquent poem by Piet Hein, a favorite of Donald Knuth's I believe: The road to wisdom?

Interesting twists on Piet would be: * animated piet programs - perhaps where the incrementing the PC would also increment the frame of animation, or the current frame of animation is another property that can be manipulated.

You could also compare a program drawn in Piet vs.

* writing an editor to make it easy to convert works of art into Piet programs.

+1 for Piet Hein - I love his hypererllipse and super eggs, as well as Melior (based on hyperellipes).

/image/1.jpeg, /image/1.png, /image/1.piet Oops, that last one doesn't work.

Somewhat off-topic, but: Piet Mondrian - A Dutch painter whose distinctive grid based creations – horizontal and vertical lines upon a white background adorned with red, blue and yellow blocks – proved one of the most influential experiments with abstraction of the 20th century.

It's a great metaphor when I can say "I bet it's a Piet Mondrian shirt" before clicking on the link.

Well, it's plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less.” ~ Piet Hein In other news, I try to check my answers by deriving them two ways.

These images remind me of Piet[1], an esoteric programming language where the programs are images.

As someone that dabbled in code golfing using Piet, it's no different from any other language: Your creation can be ugly or things of beauty.
