You have to click and drag around the black part of the screen, not completely obvious. I only found out when I got mad and started clicking stuff insanely.


Yes, I didn't get it for longer than I liked.

Perhaps a "Click and Drag along this line" then a "Now change things around the screen and do it again"

Or many other idea's like it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention it's really beautiful to play with. Sorry sorry sorry.


Agreed... very cool looking rendering but the response time is so slow I'm not convinced I'm doing anything until it appears like 30 seconds later.


The default should be max intensity, spawn, exposure, noise, and fuzz. Then it is pretty obvious and immediate something is happening.


Works beautifully - really impressive organic feel to it. I love this actually!

✔ On Chrome 14.0.835.202 - windows 7

✔ Safari 5.1.1 - works but with lag

✔ Firefox - 7.0.1 - works great but seems to constrict the canvas more than on Chrome.

IE - Nothing, just loads the sharing icons.

"Grabs iPad"


Neonflames? I get what appear to be more like galaxy clusters. But still very cool. I like the way they seem to grow organically after you click rather than instantly draw.


I thought it wasn't working at first because I didn't notice anything happening... after clicking randomly for about a minute I started seeing colors. Simply stunning result :)


The worms are the easiest to see. Upping the spawn helps as well.


Not working for me in either Firefox or Chrome.


Nothing... in Chrome 14.0.835.202 on OSX 10.7.2


Same install here - I max on CPU but get nothing.


Nothing on Chrome 14 or Firefox 7 on Windows 7 for me.


Wrong I am. Clicking and dragging as others hint at above DOES work with this configuration.

Nice.


This is so beautiful. I love it how such samples of beauty can be created so randomly (more or less)

worked in Ubuntu 11.10 Chrome 15 Beta




I was dumb enough to pick white straight after it loaded. After a few seconds I thought my brand new LCD monitor had started to go.

It would be interesting implement it as a dynamic background to something.


>It would be interesting implement it as a dynamic background to something.

Exactly the first thing I thought, since I've been looking for something like this to build interesting random desktop backgrounds that change very gradually but frequently.


It would be great to be able to define paths and then drag along them to create this effect, with ease-in/immediate/ramp options.

Also, it's entirely possible I'm supposed to act more like a brush artist. My art teacher always said my art looked like I used a ruler.

Nice to have the choice though, in a greedy world ;)



Works great Chrome + Ubuntu 11.04

The share/save options are broken tho

Great work !


Protip: up the maxage var a bit and then click, then immediately mouse over and start clicking new colors. :)


This is simply amazing! Good job.


works fine with opera 12alpha


This is epic!


truly a beautiful application

bravo
