Really nice. What rendering engine or library do you use?

This looks homegrown. The source code [1] is fairly readable.

New dots seem to enter the world in the position of the last dot placed but below them. Position and size seem to follow a simple linear movement between frames.

I wonder though, why is this done with canvas instead of SVG. Just to cut down on the number of DOM elements?
