For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph & Prompt 9 of Genuary 2026: “Cellular Automata“, AutomataPolis is coded in #SonicPi with Cellular Automata rules to compose this soundtrack. While the poetry is coded in with the rules used in CellularPoetry through #Python
Beyond Ascending All Over, getting closer to the main goal, almost?
Aiming Towards the Boundaries, Elevating Interstellar ambitions, even above required actions
Below Climbing Coverages above, Taking further from a vague area, barely?
