    i used to do lots of graphics, and love these bugs. They give an enjoyable insight to the development process and algorithms as the progress through a project!

    i have my own archive of my own bugs/"artworks" - https://twak.org/glitches-in-the-worlds-geometry-engine/

    Also see the errors section in Prueitt's classic 1984 book on computer graphics

    The images are all loading very slowly for me. Did they embed full size images using IMG tags instead of thumbnails? Reminds me of the first HTML pages I authored in the 90s.

    I had a pentium 1 laptop in like 2007, running NetBSD. One time it crashed and the screen filled with ASCII smiley faces. Still my favorite crash to date.

    Reminds me of lcamtuf's exhibition of unusual TCP packets or something like that
