All visuals produced in Javascript using the browser's native capabilities.
No Flash, except for the music player.
Viewing tips:
Opera 9.0 (Mozilla will work, but slower - forget IE)
A DAMN good CPU - 3GHz Pentium 4 or equivalent
Flash 8 or later, if you want music
If you get a security error from Flash on starting, you may need to choose
Settings, then under Global Security Settings select 'Always allow'; then
restart your browser and try again. As a last resort, try the no-sound
version instead.

2 R SMLdSMUL Dear most excellent members of the jury...
This demo IS best played in Opera.
However, as the Opera guys were interested in feedback, I'd be grateful if you
could pass this message on to them, if you could:

Please make canvas's drawImage method respect the setting of globalAlpha. I had
to implement some pretty nasty hacks to get around that...
(Great browser, btw. The <canvas> performance really kicks Mozilla's ass.)
