Now is a great time to mention dwitter[0], where people post "dweets", trying to draw and animate interesting visual effects with a limit of 140 characters.

Someone once shared link here on HN of a collaborative code golf demo of a simple scene with sun, ocean and moving god rays of alternating color. You could see the code shortening while demo looking the same. At one point it changed from colorful demo to ascii of the same scene with even shorter code. I remember bookmarking it somewhere to see how it evolves further but lost where I saved it.

I love how these look, but is there a way to interact with them (move the camera)? I want to explore them but I assume that breaks the illusion.
