*For* ***MinaCoding2025*** *Prompt 13 & 23:* ***Letters & Scene, LettersInGlitch*** *i*s coded through a **Ruby** formatted text file and glitchified in **HydraVideoSynth**

## Poem

```javascript
Pixels combining
With Letters To create
A New Scene
With an Intent
To Facilitate new terrains to Elevate
Through the form of Pixelate
They are always Reminding
About the new Glitch to collect
```
