From the README

A living sea of characters in your browser, that you can stir with the mouse.

The screen fills with a flow field: a continuous drift of characters that looks like ink suspended in moving water. Your cursor is inside that field, and it reacts to you.

This is the browser version of ascii-machine, the terminal app. Same algorithm, same look, same interaction. The terminal app's source is not public, so the link to it is left out here; the parity tests below were measured against it.
