I’m a big fan of limited palettes as a prompt for easier creative choices. These patterns are a great example of that.

Back in 2014 I made a phoney minigolf game using these patterns as a first step into making interactive work: https://www.maxpiantoni.com/projects/golfnet

The game isn’t particularly real, but the jokes are.

Sometimes it's in the middle of the track, with no way around it. A dialog pops up that says "stroke dog to continue." Then I do that and the game calls me a bastard... :/
