MInotaurs&Zeus

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableRaph:"Greek Mythology”, MInotaurs & Zeus is coded in LiveCodingYoutube, SonicPi & Hydra

It uses gameplay footage from #TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator) to represent the theme of the challenge as reenactment/ lost footage. The sound design aids in furthering this concept through SonicPi.

Poem

The Bolts come quick
But the minotaurs dodge by being swift
It can occur in the day or night
As Zeus and the Minotaurs show their might
