LettersInGlitch

For MinaCoding2025 Prompt 13 & 23: Letters & Scene, LettersInGlitch is coded through a Ruby formatted text file and glitchified in HydraVideoSynth

Poem

Pixels combining
With Letters To create
A New Scene
With an Intent
To Facilitate new terrains to Elevate
Through the form of Pixelate
They are always Reminding
About the new Glitch to collect
