         [--root] [--window-id number] [--count number] [--delay number]
         [--ncolors number] [--fps]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION

It makes random 3D plots, and those plots look vaguely mountainous. That's it. That's the whole vibe. πŸ”οΈβœ¨

Like, the peaks are random, the mountain-ness is vaguely, and honestly? It ate. It's giving "I loaded a terrain generator and forgot to be normal about it." Lowkey mesmerizing, highkey a screensaver. 🫢
