THE ENGINES
This is the archive of every version of the two programs by GREENCROSS behind this site. STORMGLASS is the program that draws the daily plates sold on the home page. PANDORA is the earlier program it grew out of: a generator of animated loops that anyone can save, and mint as tokens if they choose. Open any card to run that version exactly as it ran on the day it was made, make new pictures with it, and save them.
A version is a numbered release of a program, such as v5.1 or E9.0. A pass is one round of changes inside a version: v5.2 of STORMGLASS went through passes 3 to 28 between September 18 and October 7 2026.
OPEN shows a version inside this archive; FULL (or OPEN ↗) opens it alone in the whole window.

Every archived page is the exact file from that day, so anything it relied on from outside, such as a wallet, a contract or a gallery, may no longer answer. The drawing itself still runs.
