I got a cool black screen.   

[yujinwunz]

try clicking and dragging before you press a key. its interactive

I liked it  you can get quite a display going by different combinations of clicking and dragging. are you going to do anything further with it?

[yujinwunz]

its already a main graphics feature in  one of my games (which is still in development). what do you think would come of it? (i think it makes a nice screensaver but takes up too much cpu)

[aurelCB]

Yeah.Weird way but cool

That made a difference.  Pretty neat.

it acts like a particle generator - modifying how fast they are spawned and the number spawned could minimize cpu impact. I could see several types of programs where this could be used.

Trippy.
