"Code for one hour. At the one hour mark, you're done" (genuary day 27)

I wanted to make something that related to the process of coding and showing the passage of time. It didn't really work but was a fun challenge.

I do believe it's possible to do live coding with a plotter but this attempt showed there's still some way to go to make the process more frictionless and interactive.

The plotter started moving after 26 minutes, and around fifty minutes in I've got the first drawing that is based on the code written. So not much time left to get creative! And that was with being able to use a template that I put together for all my genuary pieces, and a server I had previously set up so I could send SVG code directly to the plotter from the web page.
