#2What a cool idea.
Drawing a star is fun.
If you draw something in the basic shape of a Y, with two thick arms and one thin arm, my instinct tells me that the two thick arms should end up on the top, with the thin one pointing down into the water. Is that accurate? There's not much jostling in the demo; any of the arms might end up pointing down.
EDIT: You can also pretty easily get something to float in either an M or a W configuration. Now I want a slider for turbulence; I bet some shapes are hard to dislodge from their current orientation and some are easy.

Yes this is pretty cool! It’d be awesome if you could link to the drawings. Though I bet descriptions of most of the images would rhyme with “ice rocks”.

#5I got one to float upwards into the air? Can that really happen?

#6Draw a horizontal line under the water, then return back to its start with a wavy line crossing over the first line repeatedly. Very strange things happen. The first time i tried, it leapt out of the water then flapped around..

What shape?

#9I get interesting results if I draw a figure 8 (or a figure ∞). I wonder if it's treating one of the lobes as having negative density.

#10Try drawing an infinity symbol. It flips out.
