what can one say about this weird little program?

the program hasn't changed appreciably since the first time I downloaded it on a whim.

it doesn't seem to do much, though it does look like some kind of cellular automata program playing out on a 3-D terrain.

yet, every third time it comes out, I am compelled to try again. always the same. why? what bizzare draw does this program and it's Dr. Bronner's-like web site have?

well, it comes with source! that's something. It's got a lot of "das blinkenlights"-appeal.

there's no accounting for what appeals to some folks, myself included.

back in the day, VT let you delete your own postings. Whoops on the triple-submit -- I've asked them to delete the duplicates. Apologies...

You still can. Just read your own post by clicking on it and you will see a "delete" link at the end of the comment. :-)

However, since VT is kinda broken, I can understand why multiple entries show up (see above).

My comment timed out when I added it so I tried again. It was added anyway.

thanks for the tip. There is only one of these silly comments for this silly program.
