Bouncing lines & boxes

[Dav]

Starting playing around with the power of LINE styles and it lead to 3d looking mystify like screensaver (in 1st code box).  Afterwards changed it to bouncing boxes, added some fading.  Kept in some LINE style stuff.  (Code box #2).   On my laptop 12 boxes seems to be the sweet spot when setting _LIMIT 30.

Pretty wild Dav! Reminds me of the 90's screen savers. I like how everything shifts from small to large to small, etc.

[bplus]

Striped lines are interesting. Boxes remind me of Sierpinski in Space.

[James D Jarvis]

I like the 3-d shaded look on those bouncing lines.

[Dav]

Here's a twist on the lines one.  Makes a ghost lines, patchwork looking screen.  Increase the lines count for more involved look.  5000 looks interesting.  My Laptop could go up to 10000 lines before getting too slow.

Very nice! Reminds me at the old times with Win 95.
