Experiment

Aurora Borealis

Curtains of northern lights sway over a starfield with falling meteors. Click to send a gust of solar wind through the sky.

Experiment

Boing Ball

The red and white checkered ball that started it all, bouncing forever over a purple grid.

Orbital Decay

Hundreds of moons in true n body orbits around a dying star. Click to throw in a rogue planet and watch the cascade.

Inspect
Experiment

Pixel Storm

Lost pixels gather in the dark, forming signals, symbols and broken arcade dreams.

Inspect
Experiment

Plasma

The demo effect above all others. Waves of sine fields melt into psychedelic color that never repeats, with four palettes and a ripple on every click.

Inspect
Experiment

Reaction-Diffusion Goo

Alien coral that grows, divides and eats itself, painted in neon.

Inspect
Experiment

Retro Scroller

Classic demoscene scrolltext in chunky Amiga resolution. Ten scroll styles on buttons, from golden raster text to sine waves and copper bars.

Inspect
Experiment

Rotozoomer

An endless texture spins and zooms across the whole screen, from neon checkers to the Arcynia logo itself.

Inspect
Experiment

Shadebobs

Soft orbs of light sweep across the screen on lissajous paths and accumulate glow wherever they pass, painting the canvas into a living artwork.

Inspect
Experiment

Starfield

The one effect every cracktro carried, an endless flight through the stars. Ten skies to explore, from hyperspace and black holes to constellations that spell runes.
