These Solidity "stack too deep" compiler errors are bittersweet because I think other people would be more insane by them than I am I'm like David Blaine doing "magic tricks" by just being willing to actually stick a sword through his arm

Terraforms by @mathcastles has been one of the most inspiring pieces of art for me. I wrote a long-form essay discussing both the technical and artistic vision as well as how it pushes the medium forward. Hope it can inspire others as well! Full essay: ilikecalculus.substack.com/p…

Super happy to see the @mathcastles team getting the recognition they deserve. By far one of the coolest and more interesting generative land/art projects in the space. Respekt to @0x113d and @xaltgeist for building something magical 🪄✨ Long live the Hyper Cone.

realistically the only project ive seen that is pure crypto art from a technology standpoint is mathcastles by @0x113d. that being said it doesn't stop us from using chains like ethereums as layer of consensus for art ownership

We just put p5.js and three.js onchain, as composable libraries. I designed a system for deploying and reading very large files to the EVM, which makes them available for anyone to incorporate into their works. etherscan.io/address/0x16cc8…

You can query the available libraries by name using the readLibrary function. The names are maintained in a list called availableLibraries.

There are likely additional ways of optimizing or organizing this (@dhof has a really nice file compression technique, for example). At the moment we just wanted to put these out for early experiments and to get the conversation started.

Thoughts on this technique for serving large files onchain: The main issue is to avoid gas limitations when concatenating huge strings. My solution is to manually copy chunks of data into memory, and then directly manipulate the memory location that stores the string length

He's too modest so I'll splash: @xaltgeist (who you should follow) coded contracts to do this and get three.js and p5.js onchain a few months back xalt's technique use inline datablobs on EVM (via contract storage + assembly tricks to compose large byte arrays in memory)

Some ongoing questions include: how should the file data be stored? What technical limitations might arise for users who want to incorporate onchain files into their own compositions?

A preliminary question is how to get these large files into dynamically generated strings (like tokenURI) since ordinary string concatenation is basically off the table. Might require generalizing the manual-memory-manipulation approach for any endpoint incorporating these files
