HN comment orderi used to do lots of graphics, and love these bugs. They give an enjoyable insight to the development process and algorithms as the progress through a project! i have my own archive of my own bugs/"artworks" - https://twak.org/glitches-in-the-worlds-geometry-engine/
This is pretty good. I've got a 40-year-old graphics book by melvin prueitt which has a beautiful chapter with a gallery dedicated to rendering errors https://archive.org/details/artcomputer00prue/page/185/mode/... I guess you can't deep link to a non checked out book any more. Well, look and then return it I guess
