It is a very simplified version of an effect that is part of the TMDC5 Invititation (an invitation for the 2002 TMDC). If you haven't seen it I hightly recommended you do. Here's the link in Pouet: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=8056 The original is much more sophisticated and has several 'stages' but I think this captures a bit of it's spirit in 255 bytes. There is probably plenty of space for optimization. The code of the effect is 223 bytes so I filled the remaining bytes with the 'TMDCv' text as a tribute to the "Text Mode Demo Contest" which was a pseudo-anunual demo-making contest where only texmode demos are allowed. I love textmode demos and I recommend you visit the website: https://tmdc.scene.org Head on to Pouet to see lots of great textdemos: https://www.pouet.net/party.php?which=167&when=2017. I provide the sourcecode of this version and will do a longer writeup in my blog (https://cesarmiquel.github.io). Stay tuned!
