-NEEDS FLASH 8 OR HIGHER-
Just a small experiment, that ended up quite hypnotic...
[MouseClick] - toggles blur
[LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN] - controls gravity
[SPACE] - turns off gravity
[1] - snake mode
[2] - lines mode
Trip.
Peace.

Since several people asked me about the code behind this, here's the basic engine for you to experiment with:
var numPoints = 20;
var speed = 10;
var stageWidth = 550;
var stageHeight = 400;
var points:Array = generateArrayOfPoints(numPoints);
function generateArrayOfPoints(num:Number):Array {
var arr:Array = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<num; i++) {
// create a new object and place it in the array
// Objects has 4 properties: (x, y) - position vector, (vx, vy) - velocity vector
arr.push(new Object( {x:Math.random()*stageWidth, y:Math.random()*stageHeight, vx: (Math.random()-0.5)*speed, vy: (Math.random()-0.5)*speed} ));
}
return arr;
}
function movePoints(arr:Array) {
var len = arr.length;
for(var i=0; i<len; i++) {
var p = arr[i];
p.x += p.vx;
//check for if it left the screen
if( p.x>stageWidth || p.x<0 ) {
//reverse the x velocity
p.vx*=-1;
p.x += p.vx;
}
p.y += p.vy;
if( p.y>stageHeight || p.y<0 ) {
//reverse the y velocity
p.vy*=-1;
p.y += p.vy;
}
}
}
function plotPoints(mc:MovieClip, arr:Array) {
mc.lineStyle(2,0xaaaaaa,100);
var len = arr.length;
//position the pen on our first point in the array
mc.moveTo(arr[0].x,arr[0].y);
//cycle through our points array
for(var i=0; i<len; i++) {
//plot a line to the current point
mc.lineTo(arr[i].x,arr[i].y);
}
}
onEnterFrame = function() {
//clear the canvas
this.clear();
//calculate new positions for our array
movePoints(points);
//plot the lines
plotPoints(this,points);
}

ITS ATHLINIA'S birthday.... please just stop by her DA and say hello..... its gunna be my present to her
I love the graceful touch to it.
did you make this using Macromedia Flash?
