DIY Mondrian Machine

Ton Mondrian Is Even Worse Than Mon Mondrian: Use the machine to see how you square up to the Master. [Shockwave required; first link via Bifurcated Rivets.]
It has never occurred to me before this moment that Mondrian may have just been playing an old skool version of Qix.

The "Mondrian Machine" is not intended to in any way trivialize the work of Mondrian, but to recognize his place in an abstract art tradition that long predates digital computer technology.
Mondrian is doing the broadway boogie-woogie in his grave.

I made one of these about five years ago (1997) using frames.
It's right here.
I cleaned it up recently and used it for a 5k contest entry.

That's cool, pjdoland! Make a bunch of changes to the boxes in pjdoland's simulator, then hit the back button repeatedly and quickly: An animated changing Mondrian!

FYI: I don't think Shockwave is required. Looks like it's done with CSS & JavaScript to me. Fun link, Miguel.

Oops, sorry Miguel, you meant ShockWave for that second link.

No, you're right, boredomjockey - it should have read "First link via BR; Shockwave required for the second. "

Btw, no contest, pjdoland. Yours isn't predictable and is far less mechanical. Great stuff - thanks.
