Tiny Code Christmas - Day 3 - EXTRA⌗

Welcome to Day 3 of Tiny Code Christmas EXTRA! We’re glad that you’re joining us again on this festive journey into the world of sizecoding. TCC Extra is intended for people who completed Tiny Code Christmas last year and want a new challenge!

If you haven’t already, read the overview to find out what Tiny Code Christmas is all about!

The Challenge: Connect the Dots!⌗

The first challenge is to make the coolest looking connected dots effect regardless of sizze.

The second challenge is to make the smallest implementation you can of the effect, there’s lots of room for improvement in the code! Check it out below.
