Codeology is an open-source project that reimagines code by bringing it to life visually. The combination of programming languages in each GitHub project determines its look: as no two pieces of original code are exactly alike, no two Codeology forms are either. The application pulls data from GitHub’s public API and creates visuals using WebGL, ThreeJS, and GLSL Shaders. Shape and color represent an individual language, with size being proportionate to how many characters of code were written. Codeology is open source; it can be forked and modified. Visualized projects can be downloaded or shared as wallpapers and GIFs. We’d love to see your favorite projects come to life. Full-disclosure: I work at Braintree

There are a few easter eggs too - can you find them?

Some have already discovered these easter eggs in Codeology: try pressing CTRL + different numbers, ~ and ?

That is pretty sexy

Very cool! I thought about building something like this a few months back based on fractals. This is much cooler using WebGL. ;)

This is awesome.

Cantor Dust did this for binaries, but it was never released. Awesome to see this open-sourced. Lots of potential uses.

Love the idea but can't see shit on my screen :(

I don't get the point of this.

Hi everyone, I was happy to help Braintree and Github with making this fun WebGL creatures float in the ASCII shader world. Let me know if you have any question/ideas! Thanks, Marpi

Really awesome application !

This is by far the best visualisation I've seen.
