Oh, it's so beautiful! The controls are super-slow, though.

Unfortunately, Pac-Mondrian seems to have disappeared from the Internet.

The Mondrian Trust is notoriously protective of their reproduction rights. It can be challenging to gain permission to publish images of his work in publications about his work. So my guess is that this lovely homage will not be long for this digital world.

Oh wait! He's in the public domain now (as of 2015). snap! I'm totally wrong.

Self-link (and not the first time):

Mondriarea is a mondrianish version of the old arcade game Qix

I wrote it around sixteen years ago.

Oh hexatron, you dear sweet retro man, hoping we've maintained the ability to run Java applets in our browsers! (Seriously, I would have loved to seen it and played it, but I haven't had browser Java for years. Sigh.)

Mondrian died in 1944. How are the majority of his works not in the public domain?

Oh, Disney, that's how
