Monochromatic paintings are often puzzling for art viewers and artists alike: what is the meaning ? why is it interesting ?
Some says it is to explore the colours themselves; others answers, the brushes strokes that you can see on the painting.
Personally speaking, I find them meditative - quietly mesmerizing. I see them as a physical interpretation of a human performance - that is, painting.
I find them focused: there is nothing to take you away from where you are, you are into the moment as the painting is in front of you.
This is why I thought that they would make a great meditative app-game - extremely low-tech game.
Since there are no brush strokes involved... no movement to consider... why would the game be playable ?

The code was written late at night, before the Boston Hackathon for Terrible Ideas.
It was then submitted to Le Dépotoir 30 min jam, during which I wrote the first draft of this essay.
