Some of the works I have collected have special features that are cool af but are not documented in their descriptions. This article aims to compile them for future reference. It's a work in progress and I will update it occasionally (hopefully). Please reach out ([@\_aaargh\_](https://twitter.com/_aaargh_)) if you have any suggestions. Most instructions were found on twitter.

### 5. Intersections: Addition/Subtraction

Andreas Gysin (ertdfgcvb), objkt.com, [Addition](https://objkt.com/asset/KT1BdYc19o2Vh4WLr3BHfaDz1qajJWxbjfpo/0) / [Subtraction](https://objkt.com/asset/KT1BdYc19o2Vh4WLr3BHfaDz1qajJWxbjfpo/1), minted October 22, 2022

*Many parameters are exposed and it’s possible to modify the appearance and the animation through the URL query string. All the parameters displayed in the “info-box” can be set through the URL. This is “Subtraction” customized:* <https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmSZfTzwnHspxZxw5Yv8vqypJFcBX5LPfPxzenMf9iQDax/?shapeColor=0.9,0.15,0.3&gridColor=0.35,0.55,0.55&bgColor=1,0.75,0&shapeStroke=100&scaleMin=1&scaleMax=1&gridSize=0.05&gridStroke=30> [*\**](https://twitter.com/andreasgysin/status/1584130960882544640?s=20\&t=kTlHbNyUwr4-82jb_Btfgw)

### 6. Smooth Steps

Andreas Gysin (ertdfgcvb), fxhash.xyz, project [#25393](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/25393), published July 8, 2022

*Some parameters (FPS, density, quality) can be adjusted through the URL query string (more info in the HTML source). It’s meant to allow fine tuning in a context of a more permanent setup: where the app could boot with the chosen settings instead of manually set them through kb. These will impact FPS on slower systems/4k screens.*[*\**](https://twitter.com/andreasgysin/status/1630345811367272448?s=20)

*The piece is web app ready: Open the IPFS link and then select Add to Home Screen.*[*\**](https://twitter.com/andreasgysin/status/1629705680633430017?s=20)

James Paterson (Presstube) & Memo Akten, fxhash.xyz, project [#19130](https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/a-strange-loop), published September 8, 2022

*Enable GOD mode:*

-   *Open the token on IPFS & type: IDDQD*
-   *Enter IDDQD again to disable GOD mode & loop current configuration*
-   *IDKFA unlocks all keys:*
-   *0-6 randomize colors*
-   *SPACE - jump to next configuration*
-   *R - Restart current loop, M - jump to Middle of current loop*
-   *E - jump near End of current loop*
-   *P - toggle PARTY mode*

*Or:*

-   *Open the token on IPFS & add to the URL:*
-   *\&god - for GOD mode (a tiny progress bar at top indicates GOD status)*
-   *\&keys - for ALL KEYS mode*
-   *\&party - for PARTY mode*[*\**](https://twitter.com/memotv/status/1568268780337258499?s=20\&t=5OS-8KdUPOyp-X65Sj9jQg)

> *Frens! ... We have a surprise for you :). You are in fact not in possession of a single Strange Loop, but a journey through infinite Strange Loops. Each token is infinite - yet unique. To access this you must enable GOD mode.* ([@memotv](https://twitter.com/memotv/status/1568268780337258499?s=20\&t=5OS-8KdUPOyp-X65Sj9jQg))
