A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Draw Themselves (Background_Version) is a not a game, it's only a animated background, made with "Unity".

At the start of the project, multiples entities spawn, actives themself and begin to roam around by a random pattern different for each types of entities. Behind them, a nice trail with the same color as them stay on the path. With time, you screen will change with variations of color and shape, and will never be the same. You can leave the project open on your computer to make a nice background screen and just enjoy the art created by "pre-coded random pattern entities".

Very nice. Smooth and not CPU hungry.
This is what we used to just call a screensaver.
It reminds me of the old screensavers in the Windows 95 days, only a lot bigger file size.

However it is not AI (or IA as you typed).

Hi, happy to hear that you like it, it’s a Unity project so it take a little bit more space for sure. It’s only random values pre-coded pattern with trail, i don’t know how to describe it! ^^

Haha yeah i remember them, i liked the 3D labyrinth on Windows 98 i guess, dont remember… Btw when i created this project, it was a “creative coding” idea, trying to do some “art” with programming, it wasn’t meant to be a background but i guess it work like that! :)

Thanks for the comments anyways! Have a good day!

Yeah dektop toys are a great way to play with small coding concepts that are fun and pretty but don't really have any use.
This reminds me of some of the ssavers in the Afterdark pack.
Kinda feels familiar without being something I've seen before. Sort of like the vector children of fireworks and flowers.
