Other contributors

Your name here. Ready is a community project, so you own it as much as we do. Make a suggestion, report a bug, add a demo or just give some feedback.

Pattern competition!

Send us an interesting pattern file. Winners will get their patterns included in the next release of Ready, and have their name mentioned in the credits.

Rules:

• Patterns should contain good descriptions.
• Patterns should ideally have small file sizes (e.g. under 100k)
• Patterns should be freely distributable under our GPL3 license.
• Competition categories:
  • Best science pattern: showing some phenomenon reported in a published paper.
  • Most original: some new behavior we haven't seen before.
  • Prettiest

Deadline: shortly before the next release.
