The graphics are so crazy in this it's so cool! It was little hard to tell what my clicks were doing at first and what the settings meant but after playing around it was really fun. Reminded me of old school screen savers.

This was giving me "The Polynomial - Space of the music" vibes. It would have been really cool if there was music to go along with the visuals, but this was already pretty neat.

Really cool! Nice work on this one, its fun to see something that's more of a toy than a "game".

Very pretty, I enjoyed messing around with the settings. Very chill game that I could just put some music on and watch for a good while. Not the first time I've seen a fluid/ smoke simulator, but it was executed pretty well and kept things simple.

I don't really know how you did this. It literally is the best wallpaper generator I have ever seen and it took you 11 hours with an engine you'd only been using for a week. HOW.

You're wildin' my man.

Very cool, really enjoyed the 'mechanic' of clicking to create new points. All the controls are pretty intuitive though I made myself a little dizzy with the Zoom Speed option LOL. The crayon-like lines and elegant blurring make every composition very elegant. Only issue I had was sometimes I would accidentally create points while sliding the sliders all the way to the right but it doesn't really matter. I got a very pretty concentric streaking effect after letting it run a while.

Hey, this runs under Wine on Linux :slight_smile:

When I was trying this out I wondered if you had maybe seen Sebastian Lague's ant-based algorithm adventures on Youtube? Maybe it was even an inspiration for this LD, but just in case you haven't seen it, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-iSQQgOd1A

Woah! Trippy - this was super weird. I have no idea what's going on, but I love it.

Neat little toy! The whole concept gave me big "old Windows Media Player visualiser" vibes, so it was a bit of a nostalgic hit! I really rather enjoyed playing around with the settings, watching the ants zip about like little signals through axons and dendrites. I turned chaos down to zero, very much preferred the nice satisfying lines, but then I am a programmer, hahaha. Well done!
