A website hero and motion identity concept for Cycle.

The experience takes the viewer through seven historical eras in one continuous forward journey, while the logo, camera path and core composition remain consistent.

The concept explores how a static identity can become a living digital experience through motion, environment and interaction.

Workflow included Spline, Claude via MCP, Midjourney and SeaDance.

Available for brand identity, motion and digital design projects.

I fall in love, It is like Encarta, but 1000% better

Most people open Google Sheets to handle monthly budgets, invoices, or attendance logs. I wanted to see if spreadsheet cells could work as an actual computer chip. That led to SSX Silicon 1, a working 32-bit computer processor built inside a single Google Sheets workbook. It runs with 32 registers, a 16-kilobyte memory space, 36 instructions, and a 32 by 32 pixel color display. The sheet does not use pre-recorded animations, placeholder numbers, or external file links. Every calculation runs through a five-stage pipeline: fetch, decode, execute, memory access, and writeback.

You can run the processor in two ways. With Google Sheets iterative calculation turned on, toggling a manual clock cell advances the machine cycle by cycle using native circular formulas. For continuous execution, an embedded Google Apps Script V8 engine powers interactive buttons and a custom top menu, running programs at hundreds of instructions per second. The 32-bit arithmetic logic unit handles numbers up to 4.29 billion across 36 instructions, covering arithmetic, division, bit shifting, logic gates, and subroutine branching. It also tracks four hardware status flags on every cycle: Zero, Carry, Sign, and Overflow.

The memory layout organizes a self-contained 16-kilobyte address space across dedicated sheets. This includes 4,096 words of program ROM, 4,096 words of read-and-write data RAM, system I/O registers, and a stack region starting at address 0x3FFF. Thirty-two registers handle active computation: R0 stays fixed at zero, R1 through R27 store math and variables, and R28 through R31 serve as pointers for the frame, stack, return address, and program counter. A dedicated video RAM block at 0x2400 maps directly to a 32 by 32 grid of 1,024 cells, using conditional formatting and a 16-color RGB palette to draw borders, crosshairs, and pixel graphics. I also wrote a Python two-pass assembler that turns human-readable .ssx assembly code into spreadsheet-ready CSV tables, along with interactive HTML architecture diagrams built with Archify.

To make sure the CPU calculates accurately, I tested every instruction against a Python reference emulator across five benchmark programs. The hardware self-test verifies all 32 arithmetic operations, memory reads, and stack frames in 77 cycles, leaving the golden signature 0xCAFEBABE in register R1. A 32-bit Fibonacci program generates 47 terms in RAM up to 1,836,311,903 without rounding or overflow. A prime number sieve finds all 25 primes under 100 using memory arrays, an integer matrix program calculates a 3x3 matrix product, and a graphics routine draws a multicolored geometric crest across 232 lit pixels. The project includes five PDF documents: an academic research paper, an instruction set manual, a microarchitecture specification, a verification report, and a beginner guide. Everything runs in a standard web browser. For anyone who wants to open the processor in Google Sheets, check out the Python compiler, or read the manuals (including the step-by-step Beginner Guidebook and Research Paper), the full open-source release is available on my GitHub!
