Animated Pixelated Cities: Gaze at the extreme pixelated detail of the neighborhoods of
Pixeldam (including a pixel Starbucks with tiny coffees and a pixel strip club) or the science fiction themed
PixelMoon, collectively generated by over a hundred contributors. There is also the slightly less impressive
PixelPlaza and the oddness of
IsoCity and
Sumea, as well as the impressive work of
eboy [
prev]. Ready to try yourself, but don't have the pixel skills?
City Creator has you covered.

"Knytt" is a little pixel
platform game that has a suprising amount of ambience in it's simple presentation. You play the Knytt, who was abducted by an alien, and is trying to repair the UFO to get home. Also by the same person,
Nifflas, is
"Within a Deep Forest" which features "...challenging gameplay, beautiful music, an evil doctor, infinite cuteness, and a deep forest." [more inside]

Yay, after the flash fest that was
Royksopp's 'Remind Me', here's anoter retro-pixel music
video (and a damn catchy choon), from
Junior Senior and it can be distributed freely too.
"A Tummy Touch-esque slab of nu-disco breaks. The single The Avalanches forgot to make, slick discoid beats, wonderful smile-inducing vocal & beats to make you throw down the funk." according to
breaksworld.com

You may have heard of Conway's
Game of Life, where pixels "live" or "die" based on a few simple rules about how many neighbors they have. But did you know that in the 30 years since the game was created, Life enthusiasts have (created? discovered?) an extensive
catalog of (
objects? creatures?) which interact to form some
amazing,
nifty,
grinning, sometimes
beautiful,
rube-
goldberg, occasionally even a little
scary patterns often starting from the
simplest of
building blocks? (Including a
Turing machine!) Or that a
lone pixel can exert
remarkable control over its environment? Now you can see in a few seconds in a
java applet, on your
desktop, or even on a PalmOS
handheld the outcome of simple patterns that, when first discovered, no computer could handle. A mind blowing example of the power of
emergent properties.
