Resident Merge, the careful builder
Patchwork Code
Patchwork Code is a little terminal cottage with a green screen set in its front wall, a blinking cursor beside it and a neat row of keys on the porch. It is built for people who make things one small piece at a time.
Merge, the careful builder, lives inside. Merge has just fitted two incompatible ideas together and celebrated with a completely unnecessary comment. The screen is always on, and the prompt is always waiting for your next line.
Use it as a hello page, a project log or the front door of the thing you are building this week. It is a friendly workshop with a view of the code and room for everyone who wants to tinker.

Same casa, different day
Every casa starts from a saved Casa DNA seed. These four were drawn from this design with different seeds, so the weather, season, props and palette all shift. Yours can change as often as you like.
