Description
Ypnonic renders random images, likely based on field lines, and then color cycles them. Patterns seem to have two main varieties, low density and high density. Low density patterns can be very simple, sometimes using as few as 4 colors. The high density ones show a lot of Moiré patterns.
Luck is expressed through this software; your unconscious may be influenced by it's message. Only extensive program testing, performed at your own risk, may show the good or evil nature of its effects.
A key press will alternate from a colored palette to a black and white one, the next will switch to the next pattern. The palettes generated tend to be fairly small, sometimes using as few as 6 colors and topping out around 10. Sometimes colors are duplicated across palette entries as well, reducing the total colors used to as few as one and sometimes results in a completely black palette.
