Pixel Snow

I am aware that this experiment is bigger than the available column size but if it were smaller it just wouldn't be the same! I think part of the fun is in the play area being big.

Controls

First, click anywhere on the applet to activate it. Then use any of the following options:

LEFT MOUSE BUTTON - Draw.
RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON - Erase.
BACKSPACE or DEL - Clear screen.
+ - Increase shower density.
- - Decrease shower density.
g - Draw a small snow generator at mouse position.
G - Draw a big snow generator at mouse position.
v - Draw a small vortex (eats snow) at mouse position.
V - Draw a big vortex (eats snow) at mouse position.
x - Draw random lines.
i - "Infinite" mode. Stops snow from accumulating at the bottom.
SPACE - Toggle pixel shower.

Some tips:

• You might not be able to see generators if you have the pixel shower turned on.
• You can leave the + key pressed for a few seconds to dramatically increase the snow density.
• Vortexes can only be deleted with BACKSPACE or DEL.
