Wow, a blast from the past!

The best part of Winamp visualisations, was that you could code/customise your own visualisations [1]. With a few equations and some variables in a limited context (frame, loop, pixel) you could create wild things. It was the first time I was exposed to this type of programming of simple "shaders".

This reminds me of some of my favorite visuals with fractal flames made famous by Electric Sheep screen saver.

This was my favorite visualizer growing up.

I remember being blown away by the dancing bear from Lionhead Studios[1]. It was promotional material for their video game Black & White.
