Ah, wait until you discover what video games do!

There is an expectation with video games. Users shouldn't expect a webpage or microsoft word to turn their computer into a helicopter.

Better close the browser tab before your computer lifts off!

What's it about?

It's a procedural graphics generator showing some text/ascii art and transforming it on the fly. The source says it is a showcase made by a swiss company.

It's by the very excellent artist Andreas Gysin (sort of a portfolio site), he works with ASCII and procedural art. Have a look at the site without the URL parameter on it: https://ertdfgcvb.xyz/

Wait, can you turn your PC into an helicopter with a simple web page? Technology is amazing these days.

It's a minor step since you already can download a car.

Which you should not do of course :)

Fun fact: if you have gstreamer installed, you can use a pipeline like aasink to output any video as ascii-art. For example: gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! videoconvert ! aasink

Alternatively, 'mpv -vo caca'. https://mpv.io/manual/master/#video-output-drivers-caca

Be careful this site makes your computer fans scream and your devices run hot. I have no clue what this or why its needed is other than it (creatively?) drains my battery.

makes my PC go from 40W to 50W.

not that bad. Facebook is way worse.
