uhhh why not suitable for art? I'm digging into it right now and made some trippy stuff!

That's a really neat demonstration! Would you mind if I use this code to jump off with my own tangent? (I want to hook the microphone audio into it, to control the patterns based off voice/music)

The way the patterns looked, felt natural enough that my brain was trying to make sense of the chaos.

go right ahead! i can make a repo for it if you have any trouble copying.

PLEASE, for the love of god, send it to me later. I am extremely interested (not just saying that). [e-mail] or reply here

or, let's collab!

It is a sizecoding/demoscene classic, which is a form of art.

Using it as-is tends to be discouraged though, because it is considered unoriginal and lazy for all but the tiniest of intros. Variations on it are fine.

>However, it's so overused that it's not a good choice to use in in a demo or intro release.

I guess because it's been seen before? Don't let anyone else yuck your yum though - if you like it and find a way to make it look cool, use it!

asked the same question. i think this is art itself!
