Opening this in the background with the speakers on was an unexpected experience.

I have never heard of shadertoy, and had no idea what a shader was, until I watched this video made by the creator of the cool effect in the TFA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5HAYVHsasc

Pretty fun stuff

Shadertoy, be prepared to lose a few hours.

Very demoscene.

It's wonderful that many of these load in the blink of an eye and run silky smooth even on a 2 year old iPhone.

Here is an interesting one (including the comments): https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XtlSD7

> // Interesting findings from original NES Super Mario Bros.:

> // -Clouds and brushes of all sizes are drawn using the same small sprite (32x24)

> // -Hills, clouds and bushes weren't placed manually. Every background object type is repeated after 768 pixels.

> // -Overworld (main theme) drum sound uses only the APU noise generator

What an awesome moody shader! The bar is high on shadertoy and there are some amazing shaders, but the aesthetic of this one is a rare gem.

Here's the author's video of the shader, for anyone on a device that doesn't display the shader or play the audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrxZ4AZPdOQ
