Lovely and cool examples that bring back nostalgia for early graphics programming
From 2 comments
Lovely :) The examples remind me of the short programs for the ZX Spectrum published in magazines like Microhobby, which would create visually interesting images using PLOT,…
ggambetta on HNreally cool, I usually draw my stuff on a JavaScript canvas, but I'll try to port one of my codes to c++ using this. thanks for sharing

Good resource for implementing graphics algorithms
From 2 comments
Going to have a good time implementing a few of these myself. Any other references/resources for neat graphics algorithms on the more compact side?
jmt_ on HNExactly what I was looking for you, thank you:)
