He had Claude Code write every painting as code — 6,400 lines for a free classical music site
Warm_Profile7821 · reddit · 2026-10-15
A Redditor shared Classican (classican.vercel.app), a free, ad-free classical music site streaming public-domain recordings from Wikimedia Commons, each piece paired with a pixel painting and history facts that dim the scene around the referenced spot every 40 seconds.
- All art written as code by Claude Code: the author never drew a pixel — Claude wrote a tiny rasterizer painting into a low-res palette grid with 4x4 dithering for shading; every painting is shapes and fills on top, in one 6,400-line file
- Named spots (the dancers, the moon, the harpsichord) let facts point at a location while the rest fades
- Workflow: describing scenes in plain English, one small change at a time
- The author asks how others keep style consistent across many code-generated paintings
