It's really odd that we're stuck in this fish tank with zero idea where we're flying now, or where we were before. I believe this is vital information for every journey.

Life looks much easier when realising that we're all flying at least ~30 km/s through dark space every second of our lives.

Thank you so much! I was just thinking about how to create something similar a month ago for my birthday, but didn't succeed like you did.

The fish tank analogy is perfect. It feels illegal that we're moving this fast without a dashboard.

And definitely give yours another shot. Since this is just vanilla JS, feel free to view source on mine to see how I handled the frame loop if you get stuck.

STARFIELD is nice. Reminds me of DOS screensavers.
thanks. i love those old screensavers because they were so efficient. tried to keep this one lightweight too just a simple canvas loop so it doesn't spin up the fans.
