By "software toys" I mean silly little applications/scripts/whatever that serve no purpose other than to amuse, but don't quite meet the definition of a game.

For example, I once wrote a Python script that encoded text as a mosaic of colored squares. Or another time I wrote a non-interactive simulation of a crew of NPCs that explored a fictional ocean and posted their discoveries on Reddit. 

Just silly, dumb things like that.

Does anyone know of any communities dedicated to software like that?

After searching I wasn't able to find any, so I went ahead and created my own. If any of y'all are on Reddit feel free to visit r/SoftwareToys
