🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Another example of the fun you can have with moire interference patterns — and no, that's not me being sarcastic, this hack is genuinely iconic. 💅

It generates fields of concentric circles or ovals and then combines the planes with various operations. and the planes? they're all moving independently of one another, which is what makes the interference lines literally ``spray.'' 🫧 like, main character energy for a screen saver, no cap.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --visual visual — specify which visual to use. legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. (hex? in this economy? sure bestie, go off ✨)
• --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is the vibe you get. 🪟
• --root — draw on the root window. yes, the whole desktop. go big. 🔥
• --window-id number — draw on the specified window. you pick the window, it does the drawing. very demure, very mindful. 🎀
• --delay number — per-frame delay, in microseconds. default: 50000 (that's 0.05 seconds.). ngl microseconds is a wild unit but she said what she said. ⏱️
• --ncolors number — number of colors. default: 150. 🌈
• --thickness number — thickness of lines, in pixels. default: 0. zero! yes really! that's the default! 💀
• --fps — display the current frame rate and CPU load. for the data girlies who need to know. 📊

---

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

• DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number. lowkey the classic. 🖥️
• XENVIRONMENT — to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. iykyk. 📁
• XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. 🪟
