all wonders to come
A fairly simple one this month. I took some photos of cool textures recently and turned them into this infinite tunnel/drone generator. It's not interactive, but the RNG is seeded with the current date, so you will see (very) slight variations each day you run it.
I thought it would be fun to record a long video of it and put it up on youtube, so here's 1hr 5mins and 37 seconds of it in action. I struggled to figure out the best compression settings for such a long video so it does get a little blurry in places. You're probably better off running the executable if you're on Windows.
