🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so straight from Terry Walsh (<http://reallyslick.com>), and I'm quoting here, no cap:

"Fly through an endless world of linked rings. You can choose from several different textures for the rings and alter the comlexity of the lattice structure."

(yes, "comlexity". we don't fix the original's typo, we respect the original's typo. 💅)

and it was ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali. 🫶
