_HypeBlocks is the hypest collaboration of on-chain generative artwork. A collective of crypto artists from across the metaverse have gathered here to share works of profound beauty and inspiration through the language of HypeCode._

There are 3 curated collections of ascending rarity: **Curated**, **Limited**, and **Hype**.

Collections:
============

*   **General**: Free public minting until Jan 1, 2022.
    
*   **Curated**: 0.15Ξ to mint. 10,000 total supply.
    
*   **Limited**: 1.50Ξ to mint. 1,000 total supply.
    
*   **Hype**: 15.0Ξ to mint. 100 total supply.
    

Generating a random HypeBlock:
==============================

Rolling a random HypeBlock is as simple as clicking the **⟳** button. To mint, connect your Web3 wallet, select a collection, and click **Mint**.

HypeCode Documentation: Head
============================

1.  The first line of a HypeCode script starts with **$** followed by the number of gradients and the number of solid colors separated by a space.
    
    **Example:** `$ 2 3` _Defines 2 gradients and 3 solid fills._
    
2.  Next, the gradients follow. Continuing this example, we would provide 2 gradient definitions. A gradient definition starts with the number of colors, the type (0: linear / 1: radial), the angle, then the colors, separated by spaces.
    
    **Example:**
    

`3 0 0 ff0000ff 00ff00ff 0000ffff 2 1 45 ffffffff 00000000` _Defines 2 gradients. The first linear-gradient has 3 colors: red, green blue. The second radial-gradient has 2 colors: white and transparent black at 45 degrees._ 3. After gradients, our solid colors follow. Continuing this example, we would provide 3 solid colors.

**Example:** `ccccccff 444444ff` _Defines 2 solid grey colors._ 4. The last definition in the HypeCode head is the background color index number. We refer to one of our color specifications (either a gradient or solid) by it’s index value.

**Example:** `1` _Defines a background using our first gradient._

HypeCode Documentation: Body
============================

**Loops:** To render a loop, use `[` to start a loop, then `] TIMES` to end the loop, where `TIMES` (1–255) is the number of times you want the loop to repeat.

**Forward:** To move forward, use `+ AMOUNT`, where `AMOUNT` (1–255) is the amount you wish to move forward.

**Backward:** To move backward, use `- AMOUNT`, where `AMOUNT` (1–255) is the amount you wish to move backward.

**Rotate:** To rotate, use `@ ANGLE`, where `ANGLE` is the angle (1–360) you wish to rotate.

**Scale Up:** To scale up, use `* SCALAR`, where `SCALAR` is the amount (1–255) you wish to scale up.

**Scale Down:** To scale down, use `/ SCALAR`, where `SCALAR` is the amount (1–255) you wish to scale down.

**Circle:** To render a circle, use `o RADIUS WIDTH STROKE FILL`, where `RADIUS` specifies the size of the circle, `WIDTH` specifies the stroke width, `STROKE` specifies the stroke color index, and `FILL` specifies the fill color index.

**Path:** To render a path, use `! WIDTH STROKE FILL` where `WIDTH` specifies the stroke width, `STROKE` specifies the stroke color index, and `FILL` specifies the fill color index.

**Path-Curves:** To add bezier curve points to the SVG path, use `c` & `s` .

**Path-Close:** To close the SVG path, use `z`.

**Path-Move:** To translate your position, use `m`.

**Reset-Position:** To reset the position use `x`.

**Reset-Rotation:** To reset the rotation use `_`.
