apparently, the video is re-rendered on a regular basis containing the flock of mouse pointers: We composite the music video with the latest pointers every 30 minutes orso. For that we use Node.js & FFMPEG

So if it's just a video. How does the "avoid each other" work?

Technically, the goal is to "avoid previously rendered cursors." But the effect is the same, ultimately.

Too bad its NSFW. One of those things I'd love to forward around. Overall, awesome concept.

> Too bad its NSFW.

Too bad it's not safe for your work place :) (maybe that was what you meant). I don't see any reason to sacrifice expression for prudes.

This is really amazing, great idea and really well executed.

I know it kinda goes against the whole idea of this, but I think it would have been better if the mouse cursors that didn't "obey" the instructions were filtered out, all the cursors that just stayed in one place, or didn't follow the instructions were a little distracting.

For the first time in my life, I felt as part of a human ant colony. I'm also proud to see other people admit they're asexual during the "Which do you prefer" question with a male on side and a female on the other. A small percentage of arrows flocked to the center in between them... Or maybe that means they were bi... :(

To whoever owns this : If you remove the NSFW bit you will probably get at least 200% more traffic if not more. I almost shared this on Facebook, but for obvious reasons don't want my mother and younger friends seeing this content on my behalf. --- Aside, that was really fun and I laughed quite a few times.

Actually, by now (1 hour later) it's no longer NSFW I'd say - enough cursors cover the naughty bits up so it's a bikini of cursors... :)

It won't even by necessary to completely remove them. They could just turn down the cursors' opacity proportional to how off they are.
