This is the same person who made bubbles that was on the front page 5 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33566924 jfc, this one is absolutely fucking insane, reminds me of DMT: https://oimo.io/works/life/

I liked the life one too. The x61.51 framerate has no movement at all other than the shapes changing and I don't really know why. I'm assuming it must be a framerate where my brain can't actually parse any movement but I have no idea. Edit: Oh shit you can zoom out too.

You can also zoom in. That’s pretty neat.

Also, not sure if this is intentional or some ios specific bug/unintended feature, but you can do a quick 2-finger “zoom” motion, lift up your fingers, and it’ll keep zooming in at a constant speed. Then you can “steer” with one finger. It is mesmerizing.

His other stuff is amazing too. For example, this water scene. You can click inside the water to splash it around!

Cloth is very cool too.

Jelly: click on the sphere to tear it apart.

This clock reminded me of a PSX game called: Forbidden Cube (or alternatively Intelligent Cube) https://youtu.be/BZM9kTGFeko

Playing with it a bit more, it feels really intentional. You really have to… for lack of a better phrase “fling yourself inwards” with the zoom to get it to keep moving.

Wow. That makes me anxious. It really makes me feel like the seconds come and go.

Not even the feeling of time passing -- just the animation alone make me anxious.

If it were just names floating by using the same animation, it would have the same effect, I think.
