I can\u2019t help but keep working on my web pet project. I\u2019ve finally given it a body! Its name is “Sunya.”<\/p>\n

Left: A sketch of Sunya in its early stages.<\/p>\n

Right now, it just floats around aimlessly, but I\u2019m planning to add all sorts of actions over time. I\u2019m honestly so moved that I can now use AI to help me create my own digital pet\u2014something I was so obsessed with as a child.<\/p>\n

Sunya is a “Digital Ghost Unicorn.” The concept is that Unicode U+0966 [\u0966] (the Sanskrit symbol for zero, or “Shunya” \/ void) glitched out and became a sentient ghost. Since it\u2019s a “Zero (Void)” born from “Unicode,” it became a “Uni-code Corn” ghost\u2014yes, it\u2019s a pun!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a friendly ghost that now haunts this homepage, eager to make friends with everyone.<\/p>\n
