Square cells, spaced, joined, turned and cut: Tetris pieces that fuse, a face in 1,201 quads, metaballs, an LCD, teletext, a line screen, Schotter, an L∞ Mondrian, pixel sorting, Truchet tiles, cross-stitch, beads, a dot-to-square morph, two floors that never repeat, an arctic circle, a sandpile and an ASCII screen.

Squares Tetris: A Tetris game played by a greedy AI, each settled piece fused into one joined tetromino.
Squares Quads: A portrait found by splitting the worst square into four until 1,201 squares remain (after Fogleman’s Quads).
Squares Blob: Four metaballs on a square lattice whose terraces fuse level by level; the red neck forms where two meet.
Squares LCD: A four-shade LCD in spaced squares: the time, the date and a walker over a parallax strip.
Squares Teletext: A teletext page in square cells: sextant graphics that fuse where they touch, a weather map, the seconds in red.
Squares Lines: A portrait as a 36-line screen on rect cells, each line one stroke whose weight is the tone, over a solid-bar spectrum.
Squares Schotter: Nees’ Schotter in 264 squares: order at the top, rubble below, each square at one of two angles, beside a Molnár ring.
Squares Blocks: Voronoi measured in squares: under L∞ and L1 regions become joined blocks, a drifting Mondrian, the newest block red.
Squares Sort: A portrait pixel-sorted row by row, mid-tones melting into joined streaks, with block-glitch bursts every four seconds.
Squares Truchet: Multi-scale Truchet tiles at three sizes, the colour flipping each level, placed breadth first until one figure emerges.
Squares Stitch: A cross-stitch sampler: the alphabet in X stitches inside a wave-function-collapse border, sewn one stitch at a time.
Squares Beads: One bird sprite as ironed Perler beads and as LEGO studs, the split between the two toys sweeping across.
Squares Morph: The LCD clock morphing from dots to squares of the same ink, then fusing into solid shapes, and back.
Squares Hat: The 2023 hat: one shape that tiles the floor and never repeats. The mirrored hats, about one in eight, are red.
Squares Ammann: Squares and 45° rhombi from four sets of lines. The floor zooms by 1 + √2 and every tile splits into smaller ones.
Squares Arctic: Dominoes shuffled into a random diamond, one size at a time. The four corners freeze, and red marks where they stop.
Squares Sandpile: The sandpile identity in four shades. A grain lands on every edge, each cell topples once and the picture comes back.
Squares ASCII: A slow plasma typed as ASCII art: ten glyphs ordered by ink, each one made of square dots. The red block is the cursor.
