Madeleine Shepherd<p>Bah! Stupidly missed the last day of <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23mathartmarch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathartmarch</a>! I blame shingles vax side effects. Not sure what I'd have posted. My work is certainly changing so that fits the prompt which was "change". Expect knitted wall art subjecting traditional Fair Isle patterns to Conway's Game of Life. No photos yet.</p>
Tommaths (he/him)<p>It's April but people are still posting on the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23MathArtMarch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MathArtMarch</a> feed. Clearly it's staying up while People are still using the <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23tag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tag</a> but...
... should I update it to look for more tags. Like, dare I say it, <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23MathArtApril" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MathArtApril</a>?</p>

Tommaths (he/him)<p>At the end of <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23MathArtMarch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MathArtMarch</a> I'm wondering whether I should unpublish the feed in a couple of weeks or leave it for people to honour <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23MathArtMarch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MathArtMarch</a> in their hearts, and try to keep it all the year.

Madeleine Shepherd<p>Obviously I have to go back to my Game of Life Fair Isle project for today's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23mathartmarch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathartmarch</a> prompt "game". Here's my knitted portrait of its originator, John Conway, with heraldic bands of pulsars and gliders in traditional Fair Isle colours.</p>

David A. Reimann<p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathArtMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MathArtMarch</span></a> Day 30: Game<br />Take a number n, square the digits, add to get a new number, repeat. If the sequence ever reaches 1, the n is a happy number (green); otherwise (blue) it ends up in the 4, 16, 37, 58, 89, 145, 42, 20 cycle (red). It's a fun little arithmetic game to play.<br /><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MathArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MathArt</span></a></p>
